This simple tutorial explains how to read bookmarks in PDF using Python. It has a link to the resource where you will find the information to establish the environment, a sequence of steps to write the complete application and a running sample code that demonstrates the process to retrieve bookmarks in PDF using Python. You will also learn about the additional properties that can be obtained using the sample code.

Steps to Read Bookmarks in PDF using Python

1. Configure the environment to use Aspose.PDF for Python via .NET to read bookmarks
2. Import aspose.pdf library to access different classes and methods
3. Load the PDF file having bookmarks in it using the Document class object
4. Iterate through all the bookmarks outline collection in the PDF
5. Access different properties like the title, and flags for italics and bold text

These steps define the process to read PDF bookmarks using Python. First, you have to establish the environment and then load the source PDF file from the disk or a memory stream. In the reading process, you have to iterate through the outlines collection and retrieve the required properties like Title, italic flag, and bold flag as demonstrated in the sample code.

Code to Extract PDF Bookmarks using Python

This code demonstrates how to extract bookmarks in PDF using Python. It uses the import directive to access all the classes, methods, properties, and other features of the library and then uses the Document class to load the source PDF file. Each document object has an outline collection that represents the bookmarks in the document and can be used to access different properties in a bookmark.
