Work with slide notes in Aspose.Slides for Python via Java: add, read, remove, and update speaker notes in PowerPoint and OpenDocument presentations.

This article demonstrates how to add, read, remove, and update notes slides using Aspose.Slides for Python via Java.

Install the package as described in Installation. Each example imports asposeslides before starting the JVM, then imports the API after the JVM is running.

Add a Notes Slide

Create a notes slide and assign text to it.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)

    notes_slide = slide.getNotesSlideManager().addNotesSlide()
    notes_slide.getNotesTextFrame().setText("My note")
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Access a Notes Slide

Read text from an existing notes slide.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)

    notes_slide = slide.getNotesSlideManager().addNotesSlide()
    notes_slide.getNotesTextFrame().setText("My note")

    notes = notes_slide.getNotesTextFrame().getText()
    print(notes)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Remove a Notes Slide

Remove the notes slide associated with a slide.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)

    slide.getNotesSlideManager().addNotesSlide()
    slide.getNotesSlideManager().removeNotesSlide()
finally:
    presentation.dispose()

Update Notes Text

Change the text of a notes slide.

import jpype
import asposeslides

if not jpype.isJVMStarted():
    jpype.startJVM()

from asposeslides.api import Presentation

presentation = Presentation()
try:
    slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0)

    notes_slide = slide.getNotesSlideManager().addNotesSlide()
    notes_slide.getNotesTextFrame().setText("Old")
    notes_slide.getNotesTextFrame().setText("Updated")
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
