In your case, we suggest you following solution.

  1. Please convert the Word document to PDF using Aspose.Words.
  2. Remove the empty pages from the PDF using Aspose.PDF.
  3. Convert PDF to DOCX using Aspose.PDF.

Below code example shows how to remove the empty pages from PDF.

Aspose.Pdf.Document inputDoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(MyDir + "input.pdf");
Aspose.Pdf.Document outputDoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
foreach (var page in inputDoc.Pages)
{
    if (page.IsBlank(0.01d))
        continue;
    else
        outputDoc.Pages.Add(page);
}
outputDoc.Save("out.pdf");

In this case, we suggest you following solution.

  1. Move the cursor to the desired location.
  2. Get the page number of current node using LayoutCollector.GetStartPageIndex method.
  3. Iterate over nodes of document and get the nodes of specific page using GetStartPageIndex method.
  4. Delete the nodes of page if the text of node is empty or there is no Shape node.

Hope this helps you.
