Remove all section breaks from docx

[pr20080798]

Hi Team,

We have requirement where we need to remove all section breaks from the whole document (.docx) file and after that the parsing should start. Having multiple sections is increasing the loop count and impacting the performance. So kindly let us know if the section breaks can be removed and there should be only one section throughout the docx.

Preferred Language: Java

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Please refer to the following code to remove the section breaks and let the docx file keep only one section.

Code: Select all

   Document doc = new Document();
        doc.loadFromFile("Break.docx");
       
       
        Section sec = doc.getSections().get(0);
        int sections = doc.getSections().getCount() - 1;
       
        for (int i = 0 ; i <sections ; i++)
        {
           Section section = doc.getSections().get(1);
            for (int j = 0; j < section.getBody().getChildObjects().getCount(); j++)
            {
                sec.getBody().getChildObjects().add(section.getBody().getChildObjects().get(j).deepClone());
            }
            doc.getSections().remove(section);
        }
       
        doc.saveToFile("removeBreak.docx", FileFormat.Docx);


If the code does not meet your needs, please provide us with your input file and your expected results for further investigation.
