Python-Net: Add Movie Annotation

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Movie annotations in PDFs allow you to embed multimedia content, such as videos, into your documents. Using PdfContentEditor, you can define a rectangle on a page where the video will appear. When clicked, the video can be played directly from the PDF, making your documents more interactive and engaging.

Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
Bind the input PDF document.
Define a rectangle for the movie annotation.
Specifie the video file to embed.
Assign the page number for the annotation.
Save the updated PDF document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import aspose.pydrawing as apd
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def add_movie_annotation(infile, movie_file, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Add movie annotation to page 1
    content_editor.create_movie(apd.Rectangle(80, 500, 220, 120), movie_file, 1)
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)

Python-Net: Add Sound Annotation

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Sound annotations in PDFs enable you to add audio content such as voice notes, music, or sound effects to your documents. Using PdfContentEditor, you can define a small clickable rectangle on a page that plays a specified audio file when activated.

Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
Bind the input PDF document.
Define a rectangle for the sound annotation.
Specifie the audio file, annotation name, page number, and sampling rate.
Save the updated PDF document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import aspose.pydrawing as apd
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def add_sound_annotation(infile, sound_file, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Add sound annotation to page 1
    content_editor.create_sound(
        apd.Rectangle(80, 450, 30, 30), sound_file, "Speaker", 1, "8000"
    )
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)
