Code to Add Notes to PowerPoint Slides using Java
This code demonstrates how to add speaker notes in PowerPoint using Java. If you want to display the custom notes content only, hide the inherited master placeholders of the notes slide. Along with the footers, you can set headers, resize the notes page dimensions to better fit the notes content while printing, and set the paragraph alignment for the notes text to read it clearly.
