Image and table positioning - best practice help

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

We are evaluating the Aspose PDF and so far we are VERY happy with the results. We are using the XML with an XSLT stylesheet.

Please can you help:

Our test invoice needs a header that has a logo on left 50% of the page, with Company details and address on right 50% of the page.

We have setup a table as:
< Section PageHeight="1684" >
< Table ColumnWidths="60 140 100 180" >
...etc...

Our question is how to get the logo to appear on the right 50% of the page? And what is the best practice way to do this?

We have tried a background image but this does not work properly.
In a std. html table we would merge the 2 columns on the left and place the logo in that.

Thanks

Dear Howard,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

You can add a table with 2 columns into the header , put your logo image in one column and company details in another column.

Hi

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Yes I know that.

Problem is that the table has multiple rows with Company address details.

We need a way to add image to one column with all cells in that colums to be merged. So that the image does not expand in just one top row and push all the other rows below.

Is it possible to put sub-table in column where the company details go?

Thanks

Yes. Nested table is supported.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to make a nested table work - because I saw a forum post that said it was supported BUT I could not get it to work properly.

Please can you give me a small example of nesting in XML.

Thanks!

Howard
