Set and Get Slide Title in PowerPoint Using Java

In this tutorial, I’ll introduce how to set title for a slide of PowerPoint document, and then extract the text of the title using Java codes. It’s noted that I used a free third-party library called Free Spire.Presentation for Java to finish the operation above.

Before running codes, we need to add a Jar file to IDEA. You can download the package from the link, unzip it and find Spire.Presentation.jar in the “lib” folder, finally insert it to IDEA. Or you can reference it by using the following Maven configurations.

Set Slide Title

import com.spire.presentation.FileFormat;
import com.spire.presentation.ISlide;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;

public class SetSlideTitle {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //Create a Presentation instance
        Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
        //Get the first slide
        ISlide slide = ppt.getSlides().get(0);

        //Set title for the slide
        slide.setTitle("Slide Title");

        //Save the resulting document
        ppt.saveToFile("output/SetTitle.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2013);
    }
}

Output

Get Slide Title

import com.spire.presentation.ISlide;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;

public class GetSlideTitle {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //Create a Presentation instance
        Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
        //Load a PowerPoint document
        ppt.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\SetTitle.pptx");

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

        //Print out the title of the slide
        String tile = slide.getTitle();
        System.out.println(tile);
    }
}

Output
