How to append attachments in PDF documents using Cloud Node.js SDK
For working with attachments in PDF documents, we’ll use Aspose.PDF Cloud Node.js SDK This Cloud SDK SDK assists Node.js programmers in developing cloud-based PDF creator, annotator, editor, and converter apps using Node.js programming language via Aspose.PDF REST API. Open NPM package manager, search for Aspose.PDF Cloud, and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.
Package Manager Console Command
npm install asposepdfcloud --save
Steps to add attachments using Node.js
Aspose.PDF Cloud Node.js developers can easily append attachments in PDF documents. Developers need just a few lines of code.
- Load your Application Secret and Key from the JSON file or set credentials in another way
- Create an object to connect to the Cloud API
- Upload your document file
- Perform the appending attachment actions for PDF document
- Download the result if need it
This sample code shows append file attachment annotation to PDF document using PDF Cloud Node.js SDK
import credentials from "./credentials.json" with { type: "json" };
import fs from 'node:fs/promises';
import path from 'node:path';
import { PdfApi } from "asposepdfcloud";
import { AttachmentInfo } from "asposepdfcloud/src/models/attachmentInfo.js";
async function addAttachment() {
const LOCAL_FILE_NAME = "C:\\Samples\\Attachments\\sample_attachment.pdf";
const STORAGE_FILE_NAME = "sample_attachment.pdf";
const LOCAL_ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME = "C:\\Samples\\Attachments\\file_example_MP3_700KB.mp3";
const STORAGE_ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME = "file_example_MP3_700KB.mp3";
const RESULT_FILE_NAME = "C:\\Samples\\Attachments\\sample_attachment.pdf";
try {
const pdfApi = new PdfApi(credentials.id, credentials.key);
let buffer = await fs.readFile(LOCAL_FILE_NAME);
let uploadResult = await pdfApi.uploadFile(STORAGE_FILE_NAME, buffer);
console.log(`Uploaded: ${uploadResult.body.errors.length === 0}`);
buffer = await fs.readFile(LOCAL_ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME);
uploadResult = await pdfApi.uploadFile(STORAGE_ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME, buffer);
console.log(`Uploaded: ${uploadResult.body.errors.length === 0}`);
const attachment = new AttachmentInfo();
attachment.name = STORAGE_ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME;
attachment.path = STORAGE_ATTACHMENT_FILE_NAME;
attachment.description = "An example of MP3 file";
attachment.mimeType = "audio/mpeg";
const appendResult = await pdfApi.postAddDocumentAttachment(STORAGE_FILE_NAME, attachment, null, null);
if (appendResult.body.code == 200) {
const downloadResult = await pdfApi.downloadFile(STORAGE_FILE_NAME);
await fs.writeFile(RESULT_FILE_NAME, downloadResult.body);
}
else
console.log("Unexpected error : can't download attachments");
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
}
