Add Bookmark to PDF using Java REST API

This guide shows how to PDF Java developers can add a bookmark to a PDF document using the Aspose PDF Cloud REST API. You’ll learn to insert a bookmark on a specific page with the Java SDK, covering everything from uploading the source PDF to downloading the updated file that now contains the bookmark. For more information about the PDF format, see the PDF file info page.

Prerequisite

Steps to Create Bookmarks in PDF using Java Low Code API

  1. Create the PdfApi instance with your client key and ID so the SDK is ready to talk to the service
  2. Define local input/output paths and the remote folder/file names for cloud storage
  3. Open the local PDF and upload it to the remote storage path
  4. Keep parentBookmarkPath empty to add the bookmark at the root level
  5. Create a Bookmark object with title, style, target page, view settings, and color
  6. Call PostBookmarkAsync to append the new bookmark to the PDF in storage
  7. Check the response code and throw a clear error if the API didn’t succeed
  8. Pull the modified file back down and save it locally

These steps summarize the process to add a bookmark in a PDF using the Java REST Interface. First, configure the PDF Cloud SDK with your credentials, choose where your files will live locally and in cloud storage, upload the PDF, and leave the parent bookmark path empty so the new bookmark is added at the root level. Then create a bookmark with the desired title and display settings, send a request to add it to the PDF, verify the operation succeeded, and finally download the updated file back to your disk.

Code to Insert Bookmark in PDF using Java RESTful Service

The Bookmark class is used to create a bookmark with all the necessary parameters and can be repeated for creating various bookmarks with a single call. You can also customize individual bookmarks’ appearance by using the font and color parameters in the Bookmark object.
