This short tutorial shows you how to Python REST API‑basedly add a checkbox in a PDF using Aspose.PDF Cloud. You’ll learn to place the checkbox at a specific location on any page of the PDF without installing any third‑party tools, leveraging the official Python SDK.
Prerequisite
- Create an API account and obtain credentials to work with PDFs
- Download the Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK for Python
- Set up a Python project with the SDK for adding a tick‑mark field
Steps to Add Checkbox to PDF with Python Python‑Based API
- Configure the PdfApi instance with your client ID and client secret.
- Create a
Fieldobject, setting its name, type (FieldType.Boolean), default value, and rectangular boundary that defines the position and size. - Upload the source PDF file to Aspose Cloud storage, assigning it a name.
- Call the PostCreateField operation to insert the checkbox on the desired page of the uploaded PDF.
- Download the resulting PDF, which now contains the checkbox (checked or unchecked as defined).
These steps illustrate how to put a tick mark in a PDF with the Python Low‑Code API. By defining the field type, default value, and rectangle that describes the checkbox’s location, you can programmatically add interactive checkboxes to any PDF page.
Code to Insert Check Mark in PDF with Python REST API
The sample demonstrates how to add tick marks in a PDF with the Python REST API. FieldType.Boolean creates the checkbox, and the rectangle specifies the start and end positions in points from the bottom‑left corner of the page. PostCreateField requires the uploaded file name, the target page number, and the field definition.
