In my previous article, I have introduce how to use Free Spire.Doc for Java to insert footnote to word document. Now, this article will share how to remove footnote from word document programmatically.
Installation
Method 1: Download Free Spire.Doc for Java and unzip it. Then add the Spire.Doc.jar file to your Java application as dependency.
Method 2: Directly add the jar dependency to maven project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Sample Code
import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.Paragraph;
import com.spire.doc.fields.*;
public class RemoveFootnote {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Load the Sample Word document.
Document document = new Document();
document.loadFromFile("out/footnote.docx");
Section section = document.getSections().get(0);
//Traverse paragraphs in the section and find the footnote
for (int j = 0; j < section.getParagraphs().getCount(); j++) {
Paragraph para = section.getParagraphs().get(j);
int index = -1;
for (int i = 0, cnt = para.getChildObjects().getCount(); i < cnt; i++) {
ParagraphBase pBase = (ParagraphBase) para.getChildObjects().get(i);
if (pBase instanceof Footnote) {
index = i;
break;
}
}
if (index > -1)
//remove the footnote
para.getChildObjects().removeAt(index);
}
document.saveToFile("Removefootnote.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
