Steps to Edit Bookmark PDF Online using Java RESTful Service

  1. For request authentication, create the PdfApi client with your client key and client ID.
  2. Set local input/output file paths and the remote folder/file name used in the Cloud storage.
  3. Upload the local PDF to the remote storage for editing the bookmarks in it.
  4. Fetch the collection of bookmarks from the document.
  5. Select the target bookmark using its title.
  6. Parse the self‑link of the bookmark to build the bookmarkPath for the API call.
  7. Set the desired title, style, destination page, and view settings for the new bookmark.
  8. Execute the PutBookmarkAsync request, verify success, then download and save the updated PDF locally.

These steps summarize the process to create an online PDF bookmark editor using the Java Low‑Code API: authenticate, configure file paths, upload the PDF, retrieve the bookmarks collection, choose the target bookmark, build the update payload, call the API, and finally download the modified PDF.

Code to Edit PDF Bookmarks Online using Java‑based API

The sample demonstrates how to develop an online PDF bookmark editor. To update a bookmark, construct the path as /bookmarks/bookmark/{bookmarkPath} for accessing and modifying it. The bookmark title is used to locate the target bookmark; you may also search by page number, display text, or action.
