Hi Team,

How to delete specific pages from a Word document

For example, if you have a 10-page document and want to delete pages 2, 5, 7, and 10, is it possible? If so, please share the relevant code.

Regards,
Mahi

@Mahi39 There is no direct way to remove pages from MS Word document. However, Aspose.Words provides a method for extracting page range from the document Document.ExtractPages. So to achieve what you need you can use code like the following:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
Document doc1 = GetPagesExcept(doc, new int[] {0,2,8});
doc1.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");

private static Document GetPagesExcept(Document doc, int[] excludePages) throws Exception
{
    int startPageIndex = 0;
    int pageCount = doc.getPageCount();
        
    if(excludePages[excludePages.length-1]>=pageCount)
        throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Page index is out of range");
        
    Document mainDocument = (Document)doc.deepClone(false);
    for (int page : excludePages) {
        if(page==startPageIndex) {
            startPageIndex++;
            continue;
        }
            
        int chunkCount = page - startPageIndex;
            
        Document chunk = doc.extractPages(startPageIndex, chunkCount);
        mainDocument.appendDocument(chunk, ImportFormatMode.USE_DESTINATION_STYLES);
            
        startPageIndex = page+1;
    }
        
    return mainDocument;
}
