I tried converting html to pdf file. It worked but the pdf file does not have a line from the original file. Also some table headers are which were originally single line are converted to two lines. Is there any way to get the pdf file with all the lines in same alignment?

We suggest you please set the table’s width as shown below to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "samplehtml.html");

for(Table table :(Iterable<Table>)doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true))
{
   table.setPreferredWidth(PreferredWidth.fromPercent(100));
}

doc.save(MyDir + "21.3.docx");
