Create a Hello World OneNote Document using the API

This article explains how to create a OneNote document from scratch using the simple APIs provided by Aspose.Note for Java. To create a OneNote document, add page, outline, outline element and text dynamically using the set of classes packaged in the Aspose.Note namespace.

Please follow these steps to create a OneNote document using the Aspose.Note APIs:

1. Create an instance of the Document class that represents a OneNote document.
2. If you have purchased a license, then embed the code to apply for that license with the help of the License class.
3. Initialize one object of Page, Outline, OutlineElement and RichText classes bypassing the Document class object. Calling the AppendChildLast method of the OutlineElement, Outline, Page and Document classes adds an appropriate new node that can be further used to add new nodes to the OneNote document.
4. The TextStyle class defines the text formatting. Similarly, the DefaultStyle property exposed by RichText class allows applying to format on the text.
5. Generate the OneNote document by calling the Save method of the Document object.

These articles show how to:

• Create a OneNote Document with Simple RichText.
• Create a OneNote Document with Formatted RichText.

Create a OneNote Document with Simple RichText

String dataDir = Utils.getSharedDataDir(CreateOneNoteDocumentWithSimpleRichText.class) + "introduction/";

// For complete examples and data files, please go to
// https://github.com/aspose-note/Aspose.Note-for-Java
// create an object of the Document class
Document doc = new Document();
// initialize Page class object
Page page = new Page(doc);
// initialize Outline class object
Outline outline = new Outline(doc);
// initialize OutlineElement class object
OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement(doc);

// initialize ParagraphStyle class object and set formatting properties
ParagraphStyle textStyle = new ParagraphStyle();
textStyle.setFontColor(Color.black);
textStyle.setFontName("Arial");
textStyle.setFontSize(10);

// initialize RichText class object and apply text style
RichText text = new RichText(doc);
text.setText("Hello OneNote text!");
text.setParagraphStyle(textStyle);

// add RichText node
outlineElem.appendChildLast(text);
// add OutlineElement node
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem);
// add Outline node
page.appendChildLast(outline);
// add Page node
doc.appendChildLast(page);
// save OneNote document
doc.save(dataDir + "CreateOneNoteDocumentWithSimpleRichText_out.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);

Create a OneNote Document with Formatted RichText

String dataDir = Utils.getSharedDataDir(CreateOneNoteDocumentWithFormattedRichText.class) + "introduction/";

// For complete examples and data files, please go to
// https://github.com/aspose-note/Aspose.Note-for-Java
// create an object of the Document class
Document doc = new Document();
// initialize Page class object
Page page = new Page(doc);
// initialize Title class object
Title title = new Title(doc);
// initialize TextStyle class object and set formatting properties
ParagraphStyle defaultTextStyle = new ParagraphStyle();
defaultTextStyle.setFontColor(Color.black);
defaultTextStyle.setFontName("Arial");
defaultTextStyle.setFontSize(10);

RichText titleText = new RichText(doc);
titleText.setText("Title!");
titleText.setParagraphStyle(defaultTextStyle);

// titleText.setTitleText(true);
// IsTitleText = true

Outline outline = new Outline(doc);
outline.setVerticalOffset(100);
outline.setHorizontalOffset(100);

OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement(doc);
// RunIndex = 5 means the style will be applied only to 0-4 characters.
// ("Hello")
TextStyle textStyleForHelloWord = new TextStyle();
textStyleForHelloWord.setFontColor(Color.red);
textStyleForHelloWord.setFontName("Arial");
textStyleForHelloWord.setFontSize(10);
textStyleForHelloWord.setRunIndex(5);

// RunIndex = 13 means the style will be applied only to 5-12
// characters. (" OneNote")
TextStyle textStyleForOneNoteWord = new TextStyle();
textStyleForOneNoteWord.setFontColor(Color.green);
textStyleForOneNoteWord.setFontName("Calibri");
textStyleForOneNoteWord.setFontSize(10);
textStyleForOneNoteWord.setItalic(true);
textStyleForOneNoteWord.setRunIndex(13);

// RunIndex = 18 means the style will be applied only to 13-17
// characters. (" text").
// Other characters ("!") will have the default style.
TextStyle textStyleForTextWord = new TextStyle();
textStyleForTextWord.setFontColor(Color.blue);
textStyleForTextWord.setFontName("Arial");
textStyleForTextWord.setFontSize(15);
textStyleForTextWord.setBold(true);
textStyleForTextWord.setItalic(true);
textStyleForTextWord.setRunIndex(18);

RichText text = new RichText(doc);
text.setText("Hello OneNote text!");
text.setParagraphStyle(defaultTextStyle);
text.getStyles().addItem(textStyleForHelloWord);
text.getStyles().addItem(textStyleForOneNoteWord);
text.getStyles().addItem(textStyleForTextWord);

title.setTitleText(titleText);
// set page title
page.setTitle(title);
// add RichText node
outlineElem.appendChildLast(text);
// add OutlineElement node
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem);
// add Outline node
page.appendChildLast(outline);
// add Page node
doc.appendChildLast(page);
// save OneNote document
doc.save(dataDir + "CreateOneNoteDocument_out.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);
