Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites set up:

1. Java Development Kit (JDK): Make sure you have JDK installed on your system.
2. Aspose.Note for Java JAR: Download and include the Aspose.Note for Java JAR file in your project. You can obtain it from the download link.
3. Integrated Development Environment (IDE): Use your preferred IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse.

Import Packages

Firstly, you need to import the necessary packages to your Java project. Add the following import statements to the beginning of your Java file:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.aspose.note.Document;
import com.aspose.note.Outline;
import com.aspose.note.OutlineElement;
import com.aspose.note.Page;
import com.aspose.note.RichText;
import com.aspose.note.SaveFormat;
import com.aspose.note.TextStyle;
import com.aspose.note.ParagraphStyle;
import com.aspose.note.Title;

Step 1: Set Up Document and Page

Let’s begin by initializing the Document and Page objects:

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
Document doc = new Document();
Page page = new Page();

Step 2: Create Title with Formatting

Now, let’s create a title with formatted text:

Title title = new Title();
ParagraphStyle defaultTextStyle = new ParagraphStyle()
                                        .setFontColor(Color.black)
                                        .setFontName("Arial")
                                        .setFontSize(10);

RichText titleText = new RichText().append("Title!");
titleText.setParagraphStyle(defaultTextStyle);
title.setTitleText(titleText);

Step 3: Create Rich Text with Formatting

Next, let’s create rich text with various formatting styles:

Outline outline = new Outline();
OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement();

TextStyle textStyleForHelloWord = new TextStyle()
                                        .setFontColor(Color.red)
                                        .setFontName("Arial")
                                        .setFontSize(10);

TextStyle textStyleForOneNoteWord = new TextStyle()
                                        .setFontColor(Color.green)
                                        .setFontName("Calibri")
                                        .setFontSize(10)
                                        .setItalic(true);

TextStyle textStyleForTextWord = new TextStyle()
                                        .setFontColor(Color.blue)
                                        .setFontName("Arial")
                                        .setFontSize(15)
                                        .setBold(true)
                                        .setItalic(true);

RichText text = new RichText()
        .append("Hello", textStyleForHelloWord)
        .append(" OneNote", textStyleForOneNoteWord)
        .append(" text", textStyleForTextWord)
        .append("!", TextStyle.getDefault());
text.setParagraphStyle(defaultTextStyle);

Step 4: Add Elements to Page and Document

Now, let’s add the title and rich text to the page and outline elements:

outlineElem.appendChildLast(text);
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem);
page.setTitle(title);
page.appendChildLast(outline);
doc.appendChildLast(page);

Step 5: Save Document

Finally, save the created OneNote document:

doc.save(dataDir + "CreateOneNoteDocument_out.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);
