Hi Sumit,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use following code example to remove the first page of document. Hope this helps you.

ArrayList nodes = GetNodesByPage(1, doc);
for (Paragraph para : (Iterable)nodes)
{
    if (para.getText().contains(ControlChar.PAGE_BREAK))
    {
        PageText = "Page Break";
        break;
    }
    PageText += para.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();
}

//Empty Page
if (PageText == "")
{
    for (Node node : (Iterable)nodes)
    {
        node.remove();
    }
}
nodes.clear();

doc.save(MyDir + "Out.docx");

private static ArrayList GetNodesByPage(int page, Document document) throws Exception
{
    ArrayList nodes = new ArrayList();
    LayoutCollector lc = new LayoutCollector(document);
    for (Paragraph paragraph : (Iterable)doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true))
    {
        if (lc.getStartPageIndex(paragraph) == page)
            nodes.add(paragraph);
    }
    return nodes;
}
