Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
To delete the last page break in a document, please refer to the following code:

Code: Select all

                Document doc = new Document();
                doc.loadFromFile("test.docx");

                // Get the body of the first section
                Body body = doc.getSections().get(0).getBody();

                // Get the last child object in the body (e.g., a Paragraph or StructureDocumentTag)
                DocumentObject documentObject = body.getChildObjects().get(body.getChildObjects().getCount() - 1);

                // Get the child objects of this last container
                DocumentObjectCollection childObjects = documentObject.getChildObjects();

                // Traverse child objects in reverse order to find the last paragraph
                for (int j = childObjects.getCount() - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
                    DocumentObject sdtChild = childObjects.get(j);

                    // Check if the child is a Paragraph
                    if (sdtChild instanceof Paragraph) {
                        Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) sdtChild;
                        DocumentObjectCollection paraItems = paragraph.getChildObjects();

                        // If the paragraph contains items, check the last one
                        if (paraItems != null && paraItems.getCount() > 0) {
                            int lastIndex = paraItems.getCount() - 1;
                            DocumentObject lastParaItem = paraItems.get(lastIndex);

                            // If the last item is a page break, remove it
                            if (lastParaItem instanceof Break) {
                                paraItems.remove(lastParaItem);
                                System.out.println("Removed the page break at the end of the last paragraph.");
                                break; // Only process the first (i.e., last) paragraph found
                            }
                        }
                        break; // Exit after handling the first paragraph (which is the last one in reverse order)
                    }
                }
        doc.saveToFile("test_modified.docx");
