Is it possible to get the updated version of Aspose.PDF to test this at our end?

Thanks.

Hi @Adnan.Ahmad ,

I verified the reproducer mentioned above with Aspose.PDF for .NET 20.2 and it seems to be working fine. But, there are certain scenario where the cell border is still incorrect.

I am attaching the reproducer below along with the output pdf. Please have a look at this issue.

Here is the reproducer:

void wide_table_Column()
{
var doc = new Document();
var page = doc.Pages.Add();
page.PageInfo.Width = PageSize.PageLetter.Width;
page.PageInfo.Height = PageSize.PageLetter.Height;
page.PageInfo.Margin = new MarginInfo(27, 47, 27, 27);
//Instantiate a table object
var mytable = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
//mytable.Broken = TableBroken.Vertical;
mytable.Broken = TableBroken.VerticalInSamePage;
mytable.DefaultCellBorder = new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, Color.Black);
mytable.DefaultCellPadding = new MarginInfo(5, 1, 5, 1);
page.Paragraphs.Add(mytable);
var headerRow = mytable.Rows.Add();
var firstspan = headerRow.Cells.Add(“Header cell 1”);
firstspan.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
firstspan.ColSpan = 19;
var secondspan = headerRow.Cells.Add(“Header cell 2”);
secondspan.ColSpan = 20;
headerRow.Cells.Add(“Header cell 3”);
secondspan.BackgroundColor = Color.LightBlue;
var dataRow = mytable.Rows.Add();
for (var i = 1; i <= 40; ++i)
{
var cell = dataRow.Cells.Add($“Testing text { i}”);
cell.BackgroundColor = Color.FromRgb(ColorTranslator.FromHtml(@"#F0F0F0"));
}
var dataRow2 = mytable.Rows.Add();
for (var i = 1; i <= 40; ++i)
{
var cell = dataRow2.Cells.Add($“Testing text {i}”);
cell.BackgroundColor = Color.White;
}
doc.Save(“IncorrectColspanBorders.pdf”);
}

Hi @Adnan.Ahmad

Thank you for looking into this issue. I verified the issue with the reproducer mentioned down with Aspose.PDF for .NET 20.4 and it seems that the cell border is still incorrect.
I am attaching the reproducer below along with the output pdf. Please have a look at this issue.

Here is the reproducer:

 static void wide_table_Column()
    {
        var doc = new Document();
        var page = doc.Pages.Add();
        page.PageInfo.Width = PageSize.PageLetter.Width;
        page.PageInfo.Height = PageSize.PageLetter.Height;
        page.PageInfo.Margin = new MarginInfo(27, 47, 27, 27);

        //Instantiate a table object
        var mytable = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
        //mytable.Broken = TableBroken.Vertical;
        mytable.Broken = TableBroken.VerticalInSamePage;
        mytable.DefaultCellBorder = new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, Color.Black);
        mytable.DefaultCellPadding = new MarginInfo(5, 1, 5, 1);
        page.Paragraphs.Add(mytable);

        var headerRow = mytable.Rows.Add();
        var firstspan = headerRow.Cells.Add("Header cell 1");
        firstspan.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
        firstspan.ColSpan = 19;
        var secondspan = headerRow.Cells.Add("Header cell 2");
        secondspan.ColSpan = 20;
        headerRow.Cells.Add("Header cell 3");
        secondspan.BackgroundColor = Color.LightBlue;

        var dataRow = mytable.Rows.Add();
        for (var i = 1; i <= 40; ++i)
        {
            var cell = dataRow.Cells.Add($"Testing text { i}");
            cell.BackgroundColor = Color.FromRgb(ColorTranslator.FromHtml(@"#F0F0F0"));
        }

        var dataRow2 = mytable.Rows.Add();
        for (var i = 1; i <= 40; ++i)
        {
            var cell = dataRow2.Cells.Add($"Testing text {i}");
            cell.BackgroundColor = Color.White;
        }

        doc.Save("IncorrectColspanBorders.pdf");

    }

@dfactset,

Can you please share comparison screenshot pointing towards the issue. As we requested earlier we are working on this and from our end output is fine. So please if you can point out to direction so that we may help you out.

@Adnan.Ahmad,
I have created two pdf (ExpectedPdfCreatedUsingAsposeExcel.pdf using Aspose.Excel and UnExpectedPdfCreatedUsingAsposeExcel.pdf using Aspose.Pdf).
I can see the difference for cell border in both pdf. Please have a look at attached PDF.
