Aspose table styling

Hi ,


I need to fix width of a particular column in a table.

builder.insertCell();
table.setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.TABLE_GRID);
builder.getFont().setBold(true);
builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(70);

I am trying to use the above code to do the same, but cannot achieve it.

Hi ,


I have to create a table in which i should have the width of first column fixed , rest should be based on the data assigned.

the text should be LEFT aligned.


Can you suggest me how to do this.

Hi Shilpa,


Please try using the following code:

<pre style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table tab = builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();

CellFormat cellFormat = builder.getCellFormat();
cellFormat.setWidth(72);
builder.writeln(“First”);

builder.insertCell();

cellFormat.setWidth(144);
builder.writeln(“second”);

builder.endRow();

builder.insertCell();

cellFormat = builder.getCellFormat();
cellFormat.setWidth(144);
builder.writeln(“third”);

builder.insertCell();

cellFormat.setWidth(72);
builder.writeln(“Fourth”);

builder.endRow();

builder.endTable();

tab.setAllowAutoFit(true);
tab.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.FIXED_COLUMN_WIDTHS);

doc.save(“D:\temp\awjava-16.12.0.pdf”);

Best regards,
