Steps to remove all page breaks from a Word document using C#:

2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.

   C#

using (FileStream inputStream = new FileStream(@"../../../Data/Template.docx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
   //Open the existing Word document.
   using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(inputStream, FormatType.Docx))
   {
       //Get the list of page breaks
       List<Entity> entities = document.FindAllItemsByProperty(EntityType.Break, "BreakType", "PageBreak");

       //Iterate through all page breaks and remove it from the owner paragraph
       foreach (Entity entity in entities)
           (entity as Break).OwnerParagraph.ChildEntities.Remove(entity);

       //Save the Word document
       using (FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(@"../../../Output.docx", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
       {
           document.Save(outputStream, FormatType.Docx);
       }
   }
}
