Convert Notebook to PDF in OneNote - Aspose.Note

Introduction

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the process of converting a notebook to PDF format using Aspose.Note for Java. Aspose.Note is a powerful library that allows you to work with Microsoft OneNote files programmatically, enabling you to automate tasks like conversion to PDF.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Java Development Kit (JDK): Ensure that you have JDK installed on your system. You can download and install it from the Oracle website.

2. Aspose.Note for Java Library: You need to have the Aspose.Note for Java library. You can download it from the Aspose website.

Import Packages

First, you need to import the necessary packages in your Java code to work with Aspose.Note. Here’s how you can do it:

import java.io.IOException;

import com.aspose.note.Document;
import com.aspose.note.PdfSaveOptions;

Step 1: Load the Notebook Document

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
Document oneFile = new Document(dataDir + "Sample1.one");

In this step, we initialize a Document object and load the OneNote file (“Sample1.one”) into it. Replace "Your Document Directory" with the actual directory where your OneNote file is located.

Step 2: Initialize PDF Save Options

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();

Here, we create a PdfSaveOptions object to specify any additional settings for the PDF conversion process. This step is optional, but it allows you to customize the conversion according to your requirements.

Step 3: Save the Document as PDF

oneFile.save(dataDir + "ConvertToPdf_out.pdf", options);

Finally, we call the save method on the Document object to convert the loaded notebook document to PDF format. You can specify the output file path where the converted PDF will be saved.

Step 4: Print Confirmation Message

System.out.println("File saved: " + dataDir + "ConvertToPdf_out.pdf");

This step is optional but recommended for providing feedback to the user. It prints a confirmation message indicating the successful conversion and the location of the output PDF file.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve learned how to convert a notebook to PDF in OneNote using Aspose.Note for Java. By following these simple steps, you can automate the conversion process and integrate it into your Java applications seamlessly.
