Add Header to PDF with Python REST API

This tutorial shows how to Python REST API can be used to add a header to a pdf file by leveraging the Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK for Python. You will learn to automatically insert and customize header content, including formatting, positioning, and styling, all through low‑code API calls.

Steps to Add Header to PDF Document with Python RESTful Service

  1. Configure the PdfApi instance with your API key and Application SID.
  2. Upload the target PDF file to Aspose Cloud storage.
  3. Create a TextHeader object and define its attributes (text, alignment, font, color, etc.).
  4. Call the post_document_text_header method to insert the header into the PDF.
  5. Download the updated PDF that now contains the header.

These steps outline the complete workflow for adding a header to a PDF file with the Python REST interface. You instantiate PdfApi, upload the source PDF, configure a TextHeader with the desired styling, invoke post_document_text_header, and finally retrieve the modified document.
