Please guide us how to reduce header height.

@nitinchopkar The space is caused by two empty paragraphs in the header:

In MS Word documents a story (Header, footer, textbox, body) always contains one empty paragraph, also table cannot be the only or the last child of the story. So when you create a document from HTML, that contain only the table, like in your code, an empty paragraph is added after the table automatically. So one of these empty paragraphs comes from the inserted document and another is the default empty paragraph in the header. Once of the empty paragraphs can be removed, another is required and also is not empty since shape is inserted in it. So to avoid the space you should remove empty paragraphs and make the last paragraphs in the story as small as possible. The code might look like this:

builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST);

builder.insertDocument(headerDocument, ImportFormatMode.USE_DESTINATION_STYLES);

Shape shape = builder.insertImage(headerLogo);
shape.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
shape.setLeft(4);
shape.setTop(-ConvertUtil.inchToPoint(1));

// Remove empty paragraphs in the header.
Iterable<Paragraph> paragraphs = builder.getCurrentStory().getParagraphs();
for (Paragraph p : paragraphs)
{
    if (!p.hasChildNodes())
        p.remove();
}

// If the last remaining paragraph does not have text, make it as small as possible.
if (builder.getCurrentStory().getLastParagraph().toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim().equals(""))
    builder.getCurrentStory().getLastParagraph().getParagraphBreakFont().setSize(0);

In this case the output look like this:
