Read notes text

The following example shows you how to read slide's notes text.

import com.independentsoft.office.drawing.ITextParagraphContent;
import com.independentsoft.office.drawing.TextParagraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.drawing.TextRun;
import com.independentsoft.office.presentation.CommonSlideData;
import com.independentsoft.office.presentation.Presentation;
import com.independentsoft.office.presentation.Slide;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
        	Presentation presentation = new Presentation("c:\\test\\input.pptx");

			for (Slide slide : presentation.getSlides()) 
			{
				if (slide.getNotesSlide() != null && slide.getNotesSlide().getCommonSlideData() != null) 
				{
					CommonSlideData data = slide.getNotesSlide().getCommonSlideData();

					for (com.independentsoft.office.presentation.drawing.IGroupElement elemente : data.getShapeTree().getElements()) 
					{
						if (elemente instanceof com.independentsoft.office.presentation.drawing.Shape) 
						{
							com.independentsoft.office.presentation.drawing.Shape shape = (com.independentsoft.office.presentation.drawing.Shape) elemente;

							if (shape.getTextBody() != null) 
							{
								for (TextParagraph paragraph : shape.getTextBody().getParagraphs()) 
								{
									for (ITextParagraphContent content : paragraph.getContent()) 
									{
										if (content instanceof TextRun) 
										{
											TextRun run = (TextRun) content;

											System.out.println(run.getText());
										}
									}
								}
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
