Java: Add Superscript and Subscript to PowerPoint

When we add a trademark, copyright or other symbol to our presentation, we might want the symbol to appear slightly above or below a certain text. In Microsoft PowerPoint, we can implement this effect simply by applying superscript or subscript formatting to the symbol. In this article, we will demonstrate how to achieve this task programmatically in Java using Spire.Presentation for Java.

Install Spire.Presentation for Java

First of all, you're required to add the Spire.Presentation.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file in your application by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Add Superscript and Subscript

Spire.Presentation for Java provides the PortionEx.getFormat().setScriptDistance(float value) method for applying superscript or subscript formatting to text. The value can be set as positive or negative. The bigger the positive value, the higher the superscript will appear above your text. The smaller the negative value, the lower the subscript will appear below your text.

The following are the steps to add superscript or subscript to a PowerPoint document:

Create a Presentation instance and load a PowerPoint document using Presentation.loadFromFile() method.
Get the desired slide using Presentation.getSlides().get() method.
Add a shape to the slide using ISlide.getShapes().appendShape() method and set shape fill type and line color.
Access the text frame of the shape using IAutoShape.getTextFrame() method, then clear the default paragraph in the text frame using ITextFrameProperties.getParagraphs().clear() method.
Create a paragraph using ParagraphEx class, and add normal text to the paragraph using ParagraphEx.setText() method.
Create a portion with text using PortionEx class, and then apply superscript or subscript formatting to the text using PortionEx.getFormat().setScriptDistance(float value) method.
Set text color, font and font size for the normal text and the superscript or subscript text.
Append the paragraph to the text frame of the shape using ITextFrameProperties.getParagraphs().append() method.
Save the result document using Presentation.saveToFile() method.

Java

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

import java.awt.*;

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

        //Load a PowerPoint document
        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
        presentation.loadFromFile("template.pptx");

        //Get the first slide
        ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get(0);

        //Add a shape to the slide
        IAutoShape shape = slide.getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, new Rectangle(150, 100, 200, 50));
        shape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        shape.getShapeStyle().getLineColor().setColor(Color.white);

        //Access the text frame of the shape
        ITextFrameProperties textFrame = shape.getTextFrame();
        //Clear the default paragraph in the text frame
        textFrame.getParagraphs().clear();

        //Create a paragraph with normal text
        ParagraphEx para = new ParagraphEx();
        para.setText("E=mc");
        
        //Create a portion with superscript text
        PortionEx tr = new PortionEx("2");
        tr.getFormat().setScriptDistance(40);
        
        //Append the portion to the paragraph
        para.getTextRanges().append(tr);
        
        para.getTextRanges().append(new PortionEx("\n"));

        //Set text color, font and font size for the normal text
        tr = para.getTextRanges().get(0);
        tr.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        tr.getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(new Color(128,0,128));
        tr.setFontHeight(20);
        tr.setLatinFont(new TextFont("Arial"));
        
        //Set text color and font for the superscript text
        tr = para.getTextRanges().get(1);
        tr.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        tr.getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(Color.BLUE);
        tr.setLatinFont(new TextFont("Arial"));

        //Append the paragraph to the text frame of the shape
        textFrame.getParagraphs().append(para);
        
        //Create another paragraph with normal text
        para = new ParagraphEx();
        para.setText("X");
        
        //Create a portion with subscript text
        tr = new PortionEx("100");
        tr.getFormat().setScriptDistance(-25);
        
        //Append the portion to the paragraph
        para.getTextRanges().append(tr);

        //Set text color, font and font size for the normal text
        tr = para.getTextRanges().get(0);
        tr.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        tr.getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(new Color(128,0,128));
        tr.setFontHeight(20);
        tr.setLatinFont(new TextFont("Arial"));
        
        //Set text color and font for the subscript text
        tr = para.getTextRanges().get(1);
        tr.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        tr.getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(Color.BLUE);
        tr.setLatinFont(new TextFont("Arial"));

        //Append the paragraph to the text frame of the shape
        textFrame.getParagraphs().append(para);

        //Save the result document

Highlight Text in PowerPoint in Java

The following are the steps to highlight specific text in a PowerPoint document:

Initialize an instance of Presentation class.
Load a PowerPoint presentation using Presentation.loadFromFile() method.
Loop through the slides in the presentation and the shapes on each slide.
Check if the current shape is of IAutoShape type.
If the result is true, typecast it to IAutoShape.
Initialize an instance of TextHighLightingOptions class, and set the text highlighting options such as whole words only and case sensitive using TextHighLightingOptions.setWholeWordsOnly() and TextHighLightingOptions.setCaseSensitive() methods.
Highlight a specific text in the shape using IAutoShape.getTextFrame().highLightText() method.
Save the result file using Presentation.saveToFile() method.
