# Get App key and App SID from https://cloud.aspose.com
pdf_api_client = asposepdfcloud.api_client.ApiClient(
    app_key='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    app_sid='xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx')

pdf_api = PdfApi(pdf_api_client)
filename="02_pages.pdf"
remote_name="02_pages.pdf"
copied_file="02_pages_new.pdf"
#upload PDF file to storage
pdf_api.upload_file(remote_name,filename)

#upload PDF file to storage
pdf_api.copy_file(remote_name,copied_file)

#Replace Text
text_replace = asposepdfcloud.models.TextReplace(old_value="origami",new_value="polygami",regex='true')
text_replace_list = asposepdfcloud.models.TextReplaceListRequest(text_replaces=[text_replace])

response = pdf_api.post_document_text_replace(copied_file, text_replace_list)
print(response)
