PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc(filename);

// how to find and delete a bookmark by title text.
Bookmark foo = doc.getFirstBookmark().find("foo");
if (foo.isValid()) {
	foo.delete();
}

async function main() {
  const doc = await PDFNet.PDFDoc.createFromURL(filename);

  // how to find and delete a bookmark by title text.
  const firstbookmark = await doc.getFirstBookmark();
  const foo = await firstbookmark.find('foo');
  if (await foo.isValid()) {
    foo.delete();
  }

PDFNet.runWithCleanup(main);

val doc = PDFDoc(filename)

// how to find and delete a bookmark by title text.
val foo = doc.firstBookmark.find("foo")
if (foo.isValid) {
	foo.delete()
}

PTPDFDoc *doc = [[PTPDFDoc alloc] initWithFilepath: filename];

// how to find and delete a bookmark by title text.
PTBookmark *foo = [[doc GetFirstBookmark] Find: @"foo"];
if ([foo IsValid]) {
	[foo Delete];
}

let doc: PTPDFDoc = PTPDFDoc(filepath: filename)

// how to find and delete a bookmark by title text.
