Columns width and table border not applied converting HTML to PDF

Hi, I´m working in an application that generates pdf documents using as source html code that is generated using a third party html editor. The convertions is made almost perfectly except for the tables. If I set a width to the columns in a table and set the border width, this settings are not applied in the pdf. I´m doing something wrong? Below is the test code I use.

Thanks in advance,
Sebastián

Hi,

I have tested the code that you provided. I was able to reproduce the error regarding width. However the border seems to be working fine. Attached is the pdf that I got after setting the border of first table to 4.

I will discuss the width issue with the developers and we will inform you about a solution as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Re: Columns width and table border not applied converting HTML to PDF

Thank you Hans, it works perfectly!!!

I'm still having problems with the table borders, the example I previously post was not the correct one for this issue. Here is the code I use to test the tables and cells borders.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Re: Columns width and table border not applied converting HTML to PDF

Hello,
I'm using Aspose.Pdf and I try to convert a basic Html Document like above to a pdf erquivalent, but i can't manage.
I just copy the html above and try to work with it to ensure that the document is correctly converted.
But it appears that the document is converted but without any borders !

Is this possible to have a table or a div or something else with this kind of attributes :

<div style="border-bottom: 1px solid black">My Text here with a bottom border</div>

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Kind Regards,

[.net Framework 2.0 - Aspose.Pdf v3.7.0.0]

Re: Columns width and table border not applied converting HTML to PDF

Hi,

Sorry for replying to you late.

The style="border-bottom: 1px solid black" is supported inside <Table> and <Td>. It is not supported in <tr> and <div>. We have not considered border setting for <div>. Border for table is supported if it is not set inside <tr>.
