Fixed number of cells in a row issue

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi support,

If a row within a table has a different number of cells than the cells number in the first row, then the table in the output does not look as expected.

Here is a sample code:
Pdf pdf = new Pdf();
//add a section
Section sec1 = pdf.getSections().add();
Table table = new Table(sec1);

GraphInfo gr = new GraphInfo();
gr.setLineStyle(LineStyleType.Solid);
gr.setLineWidth(1);

//add a row
Row row1 = new Row(table);
table.getRows().add(row1);
Cell cell11 = row1.getCells().add("cell11");
cell11.getBorder().setAll(gr);
Cell cell12 = row1.getCells().add("cell12");
cell12.getBorder().setAll(gr);

//add another row
Row row2 = new Row(table);
table.getRows().add(row2);
Cell cell21 = row2.getCells().add("cell21");
cell21.getBorder().setAll(gr); 

<br>

//add another row
Row row3 = new Row(table);
table.getRows().add(row3);
Cell cell31 = row3.getCells().add("cell31");
cell31.getBorder().setAll(gr);

//add table to sec1
sec1.getParagraphs().add(table);
pdf.save(new FileOutputStream(new File("C:/Temp/TableRowBug.pdf")));

As you can note in the output, the second row has two cells, instead of one, as the code specifies.

Best regards,

Hi milan,

The table in the output does not look as expected is because you have to setColumnSpan() manually. In your code, it’s better to add the following code:

cell21.setColumnSpan(2);

cell31.setColumnSpan(2);

Thank you for using our product.

Hi Sandy.Zhang,

In word&html you can draw tables with different number of cells in it’s rows, and without spaning cells. Is this or shall be possible in aspose.pdf for java ?

Hi milan,

In your post, you said “In word&html you can draw tables with different number of cells in it's rows, and without spaning cells”. I think in “word&html” you don’t have to set the column span is because the system handle it automatically.

In your previous post, the situation is simple, so the product can handle it automatically. But when the situation becomes complex, it’s hard to find a general solution to handle different situation. Maybe we will handle the column span automatically in the feature release, but I don’t know when we can provide that function.

Thank you for using our product.
