Each section in a document can have up to three headers and up to three footers (for first, even and odd pages). If you want to delete all footers in a document you need to loop through all sections and remove every footer node.

Example RemoveFooters

Deletes all footers from all sections, but leaves headers intact.

[C#]

 

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters.doc");

 

foreach (Section section in doc)

{

    // Up to three different footers are possible in a section (for first, even and odd pages).

    // We check and delete all of them.

    HeaderFooter footer;

 

    footer = section.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.FooterFirst];

    if (footer != null)

        footer.Remove();

 

    // Primary footer is the footer used for odd pages.

    footer = section.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary];

    if (footer != null)

        footer.Remove();

 

    footer = section.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.FooterEven];

    if (footer != null)

        footer.Remove();

}

 

doc.Save(MyDir + "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters Out.doc");

 

 

[Visual Basic]

 

Dim doc As Document = New Document(MyDir & "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters.doc")

 

For Each section As Section In doc

    ' Up to three different footers are possible in a section (for first, even and odd pages).

    ' We check and delete all of them.

    Dim footer As HeaderFooter

 

    footer = section.HeadersFooters(HeaderFooterType.FooterFirst)

    If Not footer Is Nothing Then

        footer.Remove()

    End If

 

    ' Primary footer is the footer used for odd pages.

    footer = section.HeadersFooters(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary)

    If Not footer Is Nothing Then

        footer.Remove()

    End If

 

    footer = section.HeadersFooters(HeaderFooterType.FooterEven)

    If Not footer Is Nothing Then

        footer.Remove()

    End If

Next section

 

doc.Save(MyDir & "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters Out.doc")

 

 

[Java]

 

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters.doc");

 

for (Node sectionNode : doc)

{

    Section section = (Section)sectionNode;

 

    // Up to three different footers are possible in a section (for first, even and odd pages).

    // We check and delete all of them.

    HeaderFooter footer;

 

    footer = section.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_FIRST);

    if (footer != null)

        footer.remove();

 

    // Primary footer is the footer used for odd pages.

    footer = section.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);

    if (footer != null)

        footer.remove();

 

    footer = section.getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_EVEN);

    if (footer != null)

        footer.remove();

}

 

doc.save(getMyDir() + "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters Out.doc");
