Replace Text in PowerPoint in Java

Alternative text (Alt Text) can help people with vision or cognitive impairments understand shapes, pictures or other graphical content. This article demonstrates how to set and get the alternative text of a shape in a PowerPoint document using Spire.Presentation for Java.

Set alternative text

import com.spire.presentation.*;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.FillFormatType;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;

public class SetAltText {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //instantiate a Presentation object
        Presentation ppt = new Presentation();

        //add a shape to the first slide
        IAutoShape shape = ppt.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.TRIANGLE, new Rectangle2D.Double(115, 130, 100, 100));
        shape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        shape.getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(Color.orange);
        shape.getShapeStyle().getLineColor().setColor(Color.white);

        //set alt text (title and description) for the shape
        shape.setAlternativeTitle("Triangle");
        shape.setAlternativeText("This is a triangle.");

        //save the resultant document
        ppt.saveToFile("Output.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
    }
}

Set and Get Alternative Text (Alt Text) of PowerPoint Shapes in Java

Get alternative text

import com.spire.presentation.*;

public class GetAltText {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //load PowerPoint document
        Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
        ppt.loadFromFile("Output.pptx");

        //get the first shape in the first slide
        IShape shape = ppt.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().get(0);

        //get the alt text (title and description) of the shape
        String altTitle = shape.getAlternativeTitle();
        String altDescription = shape.getAlternativeText();

        System.out.println("Title: " + altTitle);
        System.out.println("Description: " + altDescription);
    }
}

This article demonstrates how to replace an existing image in a PowerPoint document with a new image by using Spire.Presentation for Java.

import com.spire.presentation.*;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.IImageData;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class ReplaceImage {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        //create a Presentation object
        Presentation presentation= new Presentation();

        //load the sample PowerPoint file
        presentation.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\input.pptx");

        //add an image to the image collection
        String imagePath = "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Microsoft-PowerPoint-logo.jpg";
        BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(new FileInputStream(imagePath));
        IImageData image = presentation.getImages().append(bufferedImage);

        //get the shape collection from the first slide
        ShapeCollection shapes = presentation.getSlides().get(0).getShapes();

        //loop through the shape collection
        for (int i = 0; i < shapes.getCount(); i++) {

            //determine if a shape is a picture
            if (shapes.get(i) instanceof SlidePicture) {

                //fill the shape with a new image
               ((SlidePicture) shapes.get(i)).getPictureFill().getPicture().setEmbedImage(image);
            }
        }
        
        //save to file
        presentation.saveToFile("output/ReplaceImage.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
    }
}
