Steps to Create Bookmarks in PDF using Node.js Low Code API

  1. Create the PdfApi instance with your client ID and client secret so the SDK can communicate with 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 Node.js REST interface. First, configure the PDF Cloud SDK with your credentials, choose local and cloud storage locations, 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 the request, verify success, and finally download the updated file.
