Hi Aspose team,

is it possible to access header/footer in Notes and Handouts part of the presentation?
If you click on Insert => Header/Footer second tab is “Notes and Handouts”.

At the end I would like to make changes in that are from code. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

I have observed your comments and like to request you to please try using following sample code on your end and then share your feedback with us.

Presentation pres = new Presentation();

pres.SlideSize.Orientation = SlideOrienation.Portrait;
pres.ViewProperties.LastView = ViewType.HandoutView;

IHeaderFooterManager hfManager = pres.HeaderFooterManager;
hfManager.IsDateTimeVisible = true;
hfManager.IsFooterVisible = true;
hfManager.IsSlideNumberVisible = true;
hfManager.SetVisibilityOnTitleSlide(true);
hfManager.SetFooterText(“Test Footer”);

pres.Save(@"D:\TestHandout.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

I hope this will be helpful. Please share if I may help you further in this regard.

Hi Adnan,

this works ok (I already tested).

If you go to Insert => Header/Footer second tab is “Notes and Handouts” there you can create Header and Footer that will appear in Notes and Handouts.

Question is is it possible to change this programmatically? If yes, how?

Thanks,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Following is the code to add header and footer as per your requirements. The code is working fine however the changes are not reflected in the dialog box which appears If you go to Insert => Header/Footer second tab is “Notes and Handouts”. We are looking into this problem but for now please try using following sample code on your end and then share your kind feedback with us.

Presentation presentation = new Presentation(@"D:\handout_header_footer.pptx");

IMasterHandoutSlide masterHandoutSlide = presentation.MasterHandoutSlideManager.MasterHandoutSlide;

if (null != masterHandoutSlide)
{
    IAutoShape myHeader = (IAutoShape)masterHandoutSlide.Shapes[0];
    String tmpString = myHeader.TextFrame.Text;
    myHeader.TextFrame.Text = "HI there new header";

    IAutoShape myFooter = (IAutoShape)masterHandoutSlide.Shapes[2];
    String tmpString2 = myFooter.TextFrame.Text;
    myFooter.TextFrame.Text = "HI there new footer";

    IPlaceholder placeholder = myHeader.Placeholder;
    int plType = (int)placeholder.Type;

    presentation.Save(@"D:\handout.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

I hope this will be helpful. Please share if I may help you further in this regard.

if (null != masterNotesSlide)
    updateHeaderFooterText(masterNotesSlide);
