My app is supposed to be able to read and edit PDF, DOC and TXT file formats, so I decided to use another application (let me name it as app2) to open and edit files from my application.

But when I save the file in app2, file gets saved into sandbox of the app2. Is it possible to make app2 save files into my application's sandbox?

The application sandbox secures all of the files for that application... So unless you've gotten some sort of jailbroken phone you're basically going to have 1 app with 1 sandbox (i.e. 1 set of files). However, there are certain dependencies you can take advantage of from within your app. (e.g. you can do things like open a PDF using a WebView if you have iBooks or a PDF reader installed on the phone, or boot the user off to Safari to open a web link)
