Add Page Number Field into Document Uploaded at Amazon S3 Storage

This technical tip allows developers to insert page number field into the Word document using Saaspose.Words REST API in your .NET applications.  You need to upload file to Amazon S3 storage before running this example.  Some important steps for performing this task are to specify product URI, serialize the JSON request content, build URI, sign URI, get response stream, required methods and classes are also given in detail. Please check Saaspose example section for more details on how to upload files to Amazon S3 storage.

Sample Code for Inserting Page Number Field in Doc at Amazon S3 Storage

SaasposeApp.AppKey = "9a******************";
SaasposeApp.AppSID = "77*********************";
            //specify product URI
            Product.BaseProductUri = @"http://api.saaspose.com/v1.0";

                string outputFile = "C:\\Output." + saveFormat;
                string amazonS3StorageName = "MyAmazonS3Storage";
                string amazonS3BucketName = "MyS3Bucket"; // include folder name if file is not at root folder

                //serialize the JSON request content
                Field field = new Field();
                field.Alignment = "right";
                field.Format = "{PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}";
                field.IsTop = true;
                field.SetPageNumberOnFirstPage = true;

                string strJSON = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(field);

                //build URI
                string strURI = Product.BaseProductUri + "/words/" + fileName + "/insertPageNumbers";
                strURI += "?storage=" + amazonS3StorageName + "&folder=" + amazonS3BucketName;
                //sign URI
                string signedURI = Sign(strURI);
                //get response stream
                Stream responseStream = ProcessCommand(signedURI, "POST", strJSON, "json");
                //build URI
                strURI = Product.BaseProductUri + "/words/" + fileName;
