Question

I'm not able to remove all the comments present in docx file using Apache POI . Is there any other way of removing the comments using docx4j api ?

Answer 1

Sure. Basically it is 2 steps.

Step 1: find the various comment tags in the main document part and delete them.

Step 2: delete the comments part.
