It’s possible with the Docs API, but not pretty. See How to bold text in a google doc using the google docs api - Stack Overflow

You might have to use many modules to do the same as what was mentioned in the link above, just to bold a single range of text.

Instead I suggest using the “Create a new document” module and insert the content as HTML, with the relevant bold text between the <b></b> tags.

Similarly, Insert page breaks in Google Docs with App script - Stack Overflow

You might have to use many modules to do the same as what was mentioned in the link above, just to insert a page break.

This is because you need to search for the index of the position where you want to insert/modify the document.
