C#

using (PdfDocumentProcessor pdfDocumentProcessor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
    // Load a document

    // Create a FitB destination that refers to the eighth page
    PdfFitBBoxDestination destination =
       new PdfFitBBoxDestination(pdfDocumentProcessor.Document.Pages[7]);

    // Create a bookmark
    PdfBookmark bookmark = new PdfBookmark();
    bookmark.Title = "Annotations";

    // Associate the bookmark with the created destination

    // Add the bookmark to the document collection
    pdfDocumentProcessor.Document.Bookmarks.Add(bookmark);

    // Save the result
    pdfDocumentProcessor.SaveDocument("out.pdf");
}
