@Jayshiv1408 could you kindly provide the source and destination documents so that I can accurately reproduce the issue you are facing?

@Jayshiv1408 Could you please specify the pages on which you are observing the discrepancies? Since the final document has more than 120 pages, it would be helpful to know the specific pages where you are experiencing the issue.

@Jayshiv1408 Please note that the current result you are getting for the “Last Line Alignment” issue is expected behavior. If you perform the same operation using the MS Word application, you will obtain the same result:
sec-9-newSecitonAdded-wordOutput.docx (2.4 MB)

As a workaround for this issue, you can insert an empty paragraph at the end of the document. This can be achieved using the following code snippet:

var doc = new Document();
doc.RemoveAllChildren();
for(var i = 1; i < 20; i++) 
{
    var temp = new Document($@"C:\Temp\sections\sec-{i}.docx");
    temp.FirstSection.PageSetup.SectionStart = SectionStart.NewPage;

    if(temp.LastSection.Body.LastChild.NodeType == NodeType.Paragraph)
    {
        var para = new Paragraph(temp);
        temp.LastSection.Body.AppendChild(para);
    }

    doc.AppendDocument(temp, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);
}

doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\output.docx");

By adding the empty paragraph, you can ensure the last line of text aligns properly in the document.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

@Jayshiv I am afraid, it is not always possible to preserve original document layout after merging documents. As you may know MS Word documents are flow documents and the previous content affects layout of the following content.

PS: With the latest version you can use Merger class to merge documents:

string[] documents = new string[19];
for (int i = 0; i < 19; i++)
    documents[i] = $@"C:\Temp\sec-{i + 1}.docx";

Aspose.Words.LowCode.Merger.Merge(@"C:\Temp\out.docx", documents, SaveFormat.Docx, Aspose.Words.LowCode.MergeFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);
