Page margins

The following example shows how to set page margins using PageLayoutProperties.

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Size;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Unit;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.MasterPage;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.PageLayout;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            PageLayout layout = new PageLayout();
            layout.setName("Layout1");
            layout.getPageLayoutProperties().setTopMargin(new Size(25, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            layout.getPageLayoutProperties().setBottomMargin(new Size(25, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            layout.getPageLayoutProperties().setLeftMargin(new Size(30, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            layout.getPageLayoutProperties().setRightMargin(new Size(20, Unit.MILLIMETER));
            doc.getCommonStyles().getAutomaticStyles().getPageLayouts().add(layout);

            MasterPage masterPage = new MasterPage();
            masterPage.setName("Standard");
            masterPage.setPageLayout("Layout1");
            doc.getCommonStyles().getMasterStyles().getMasterPages().add(masterPage);

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.add("This document has custom page margins: top=25mm, bottom=25mm, left=30mm, right=20mm.");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
