@Gptrnt You should call Document.updatePageLayout method after removing the field and before saving to PDF. When you call Document.updatePageLayout first time document layout is cached and changes made in the document does not take effect when save to Fixed Page formats.
Also, I think in your case you can use PageSutup.getPageStartingNumber to achieve what you need.
