Edit PDF Bookmark using Node.js REST API

PDF Node.js developers can easily modify existing bookmarks in a PDF document by leveraging the Aspose.PDF Cloud REST API with the official Node.js SDK. This guide walks you through setting up authentication, uploading a file, locating the desired bookmark, updating its properties, and downloading the revised PDF—all through concise, low‑code steps.

Prerequisite

  • Create an account and obtain API credentials to update a bookmark in a PDF — see the guide on creating an Aspose Cloud account.
  • Download the Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK for Node.js
  • Set up a Node.js project and add the SDK as a dependency.

Steps to Edit Bookmark PDF Online using Node.js RESTful Service

  1. Create a PdfApi client instance using your client ID and client secret for request authentication.
  2. Define local input/output file paths and the remote folder/file name that will be used in Cloud storage.
  3. Upload the local PDF to the remote storage so its bookmarks can be edited.
  4. Retrieve the collection of bookmarks from the uploaded document.
  5. Choose the target bookmark by matching its title.
  6. Parse the self‑link of the selected bookmark to construct the bookmarkPath required by the API.
  7. Specify the new title, style, destination page, and view settings for the bookmark.
  8. Call PutBookmarkAsync, verify the response, then download and save the updated PDF locally.

These steps outline the complete workflow for building an online PDF bookmark editor with Node.js: authenticate, set file paths, upload, fetch bookmarks, modify the chosen entry, invoke the update API, and finally retrieve the edited PDF.
