Create and manage PDF bookmarks with Instant JSON

Types

This section explains how to use type declarations in Instant JSON records.

The optional keys are specified as follows:

{ optionalKey?: value; }

To reduce payload size, omit optional keys when their values are undefined.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks provide a way to mark [actions][]. Optionally, a bookmark can have a name, in which case clients will show the name of the bookmark.

The data is structured in the following way:

  • v — The version of the bookmark specification.
  • pdfBookmarkId — The ID under which the bookmark will be stored in the PDF.
  • type — The type of the entry. For bookmarks, this will always be "pspdfkit/bookmark".
  • name — The optional bookmark name. This is used to identify the bookmark.
  • action — The action that should be triggered when this bookmark is clicked. See [action types][actions] for more information about this field.
// Example of an Instant JSON schema for a bookmark with a `GoToAction` action:
{
  "action": {
    "pageIndex": 0,
    "type": "goTo"
  },
  "id": "01F46W3SCC92FG68G597N4VHJD",
  "name": "A page bookmark",
  "type": "pspdfkit/bookmark",
  "v": 1
}

Refer to the JSON format schema — actions guide for more information about supported action types.
