Thanks for your inquiry.

As per our understandings, you want to add bullets or indented paragraphs inside PDF Page. In order to achieve that, you may please use following sample code snippet:

Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
Page page = doc.Pages.Add();

TextFragment headingNumber = new TextFragment("4.");
headingNumber.IsInLineParagraph = true;
headingNumber.TextState.FontSize = 10;
headingNumber.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;
            
TextFragment headingFragment = new TextFragment("Lorem Ipsum:");
headingFragment.Margin = new MarginInfo(10, 10, 0, 0);
headingFragment.IsInLineParagraph = true;
headingFragment.TextState.FontSize = 10;
headingFragment.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;

page.Paragraphs.Add(headingNumber);
page.Paragraphs.Add(headingFragment);

TextFragment numberFragment = new TextFragment("4.1.");
numberFragment.Margin = new MarginInfo(10, 0, 0, 0);
// keep this fragment with next paragraph level object
numberFragment.IsKeptWithNext = true;
TextFragment dataFragment = new TextFragment("Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum");
// set margins to specify indenting and bullet formatting
dataFragment.Margin = new MarginInfo(30, 10, 0, 0);
dataFragment.IsInLineParagraph = true;

page.Paragraphs.Add(numberFragment);
page.Paragraphs.Add(dataFragment); 
doc.Save(dataDir + "output.pdf");

In case your requirements are different than our assumptions, please share some more details by sharing sample expected PDF document. We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

I’m sorry for not being clear, I was referring to bookmarks.
