Add Bookmark to PDF using Python REST API

This guide shows how to PDF bookmark a document through the Python REST API, using the Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK for Python to load a source PDF, insert a bookmark online, and download the updated file.

Prerequisite

Steps to Create Bookmarks in PDF using Python Low Code API

  1. Create a 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 raise an error if the API call was not successful.
  8. Download the modified file and save it locally.

These steps summarize the process to add a bookmark in a PDF using the Python REST interface. First, configure the PDF Cloud SDK with your credentials, specify where the files reside 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 options, send the request, verify success, and finally retrieve the updated file.

Code to Insert Bookmark in PDF using Python RESTful Service

The snippet demonstrates how to make bookmarks in a PDF using the Python REST API. The Bookmark class lets you define all required parameters and can be reused to create multiple bookmarks with a single call. You can also customize each bookmark’s appearance by setting font and color properties on the Bookmark object.
