Presentation Notes

Aspose.Slides supports removing notes slides from a presentation. In this topic, we will introduce this new feature of removing Notes also adding notes style slides from any presentation.

Aspose.Slides for Node.js via Java provides the feature of removing notes of any slide as well as add style to existing notes. Developers can remove notes in the following ways:

• Remove Notes of a Specific Slide of a presentation.
• Remove Notes of All Slides of a Presentation

Remove Notes from Slide

Notes of some specific slide could be removed as shown in example below:

// Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("presWithNotes.pptx");
try {
    // Removing notes of first slide
    var mgr = pres.getSlides().get_Item(0).getNotesSlideManager();
    mgr.removeNotesSlide();
    // Saving presentation to disk
    pres.save("test.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) {
        pres.dispose();
    }
}

Remove Notes from Presentation

Notes of all the slides of a presentation could be removed as shown in example below:

// Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("presWithNotes.pptx");
try {
    // Removing notes of all slides
    var mgr = null;
    for (var i = 0; i < pres.getSlides().size(); i++) {
        mgr = pres.getSlides().get_Item(i).getNotesSlideManager();
        mgr.removeNotesSlide();
    }
    // Saving presentation to disk
    pres.save("test.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) {
        pres.dispose();
    }
}

Add NotesStyle

getNotesStyle method has been added to MasterNotesSlide class and MasterNotesSlide class respectively. This property specifies the style of a notes text. The implementation is demonstrated in the example below.

// Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
var pres = new aspose.slides.Presentation("demo.pptx");
try {
    var notesMaster = pres.getMasterNotesSlideManager().getMasterNotesSlide();
    if (notesMaster != null) {
        // Get MasterNotesSlide text style
        var notesStyle = notesMaster.getNotesStyle();
        // Set symbol bullet for the first level paragraphs
        var paragraphFormat = notesStyle.getLevel(0);
        paragraphFormat.getBullet().setType(aspose.slides.BulletType.Symbol);
    }
    pres.save("NotesSlideWithNotesStyle.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);
} finally {
    if (pres != null) {
        pres.dispose();
    }
}
