Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of Java programming.
• Aspose.Note for Java library installed. You can download it from the Aspose.Note for Java Documentation.
• A Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) set up on your machine.

Import Packages

Start by importing the necessary packages into your Java project. This ensures that you have access to the Aspose.Note for Java functionalities.

import java.awt.Color;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.aspose.note.Document;
import com.aspose.note.NumberList;
import com.aspose.note.Outline;
import com.aspose.note.OutlineElement;
import com.aspose.note.Page;
import com.aspose.note.RichText;
import com.aspose.note.ParagraphStyle;
// Import Aspose.Note for Java packages

Step 1: Initialize Document and Page

Create an object of the Document class and initialize a Page class object.

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
// create an object of the Document class
Document doc = new Document();
// initialize Page class object
Page page = new Page();

Step 2: Initialize Outline and TextStyle

Now, initialize an Outline class object and a TextStyle class object with formatting properties.

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

Step 3: Create Bulleted List Elements

Create OutlineElement class objects and apply bullets to create a bulleted list.

// initialize OutlineElement class objects and apply bullets
OutlineElement outlineElem1 = new OutlineElement();
outlineElem1.setNumberList(new NumberList("*", "Arial", 10));
// initialize RichText class object and apply text style
RichText text1 = new RichText().append("First");
text1.setParagraphStyle(defaultStyle);
outlineElem1.appendChildLast(text1);

Repeat the above steps for each element in your bulleted list.

Step 4: Add Outline Elements to Outline

Add the created OutlineElement objects to the Outline.

// add outline elements
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem1);
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem2);
outline.appendChildLast(outlineElem3);

Step 5: Add Outline to Page and Save

Add the Outline node to the Page, and then add the Page node to the Document. Finally, save the document.

// add Outline node
page.appendChildLast(outline);
// add Page node
doc.appendChildLast(page);
// save the document
doc.save(dataDir + "CreateBulletedList_out.pdf");

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created a bulleted list in OneNote using Aspose.Note for Java.
