In my previous article, I have introduce how to use Free Spire.Doc for Java to insert footnote to word document. Now, this article will share how to remove footnote from word document programmatically.
Installation
Method 1: Download Free Spire.Doc for Java and unzip it. Then add the Spire.Doc.jar file to your Java application as dependency.
Method 2: Directly add the jar dependency to maven project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.
<repositories> <repository> <id>com.e-iceblue</id> <name>e-iceblue</name> <url>http://repo.e-iceblue.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url> </repository> </repositories> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>e-iceblue</groupId> <artifactId>spire.doc.free</artifactId> <version>3.9.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> Sample Code
import com.spire.doc.*; import com.spire.doc.documents.Paragraph; import com.spire.doc.fields.*; public class RemoveFootnote { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { //Load the Sample Word document. Document document = new Document(); document.loadFromFile("out/footnote.docx"); Section section = document.getSections().get(0); //Traverse paragraphs in the section and find the footnote for (int j = 0; j < section.getParagraphs().getCount(); j++) { Paragraph para = section.getParagraphs().get(j); int index = -1; for (int i = 0, cnt = para.getChildObjects().getCount(); i < cnt; i++) { ParagraphBase pBase = (ParagraphBase) para.getChildObjects().get(i); if (pBase instanceof Footnote) { index = i; break; } } if (index > -1) //remove the footnote para.getChildObjects().removeAt(index); } document.saveToFile("Removefootnote.docx", FileFormat.Docx); } }
