Dear customers,
Thanks for your consideration.
The API has been simplified in release 1.6.0. The new API is fully compatible with the old API. Some new properties and methods are added to make it easy to generate pdf through API programming. You need not change your former codes but you can try to use the new API to build your new application. Please refer to the API documentation and features demo for more info about the new API.
1. A new method Add() is added to some collections, including Cells,Rows,Segments,Sections.
This method is used to initializes a new instance of the class and add it to the collection.

How do I use DefaultCellPadding in XML?
I tried the following example, which throws “Unknown attribute in Table element”:
Dear jurev,
Thanks for your consideration.
I have added support for it. Please download hot fix again.
