Border has extra width when using ColumnSpan

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi! I have an issue with the border having extra width when using ColumnSpan. The version of Aspose I am using is 8.0. I have attached the resulting PDF. Here is the code:


public static void BordrExtraWidth()
{
Pdf pdf = new Pdf();
pdf.CompressionLevel = 6;
Section section = new Section(pdf);
pdf.Sections.Add(section);

section.Paragraphs.Add(new Text(“In all tables below, the LineWidth of the Top border is always specified as 2. #$NL” +
“We can also see that the right border overlaps the top border which is pretty ugly/annoying. #$NL " +
“When the thick border appears, look closely and you will see it overlaps on the left. #$NL #$NL”));

section.Paragraphs.Add(new Text(“Column span of 4”));
Table table = new Table();
table.ColumnWidths = “10% 20% 10% 5% 10% 20% 10% 5% 10%”;
table.RepeatingRows = 2;
Row row = table.Rows.Add();
AddCellWithBackgroundAndBorder(row, “Year”, rowSpan: 2);
AddCellWithBackgroundAndBorder(row, “3/4 thin border”, colSpan: 4);
AddCellWithBackgroundAndBorder(row, “Thick border! Why?”, colSpan: 4);

Hi,


Thanks for your patience.

I am pleased to share that the issue reported earlier has been resolved. Please try using the following code snippet based on new DOM approach to generate correct output. For your reference, I have also attached the resultant PDF generated over my end using upcoming release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 8.2.0.
