PDF conversion -> Table width

[Timothy]

Jason,

I have a table defined in docx as follow.

Code: Select all

<w:tbl>
  <w:tblPr />
- <w:tr>
- <w:tc>
- <w:p>
- <w:r>
- <w:rPr>
  <w:b w:val="true" />
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t />
  </w:r>
  </w:p>
  </w:tc>
  </w:tr>
- <w:tr>
- <w:tc>
- <w:p>
- <w:r>
- <w:rPr>
  <w:b w:val="false" />
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>some text here...</w:t>
  </w:r>
  </w:p>
  </w:tc>
  </w:tr>
- <w:tr>
- <w:tc>
- <w:p>
- <w:r>
- <w:rPr>
  <w:b w:val="false" />
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>some text here</w:t>
  </w:r>
  </w:p>
  </w:tc>
  </w:tr>
  </w:tbl>


When I show the table in word 2010 it is a small table with one column and three rows, containing the correct information. When I convert it to PDF the data is still correct, but the table's width is wrong. In PDF it takes the width of the whole page.

Can this be fixed?

Thx.

Jason,

Have you had time to look into this issue?

The attached docx contains 5 tables. The last is yours.

When output as PDF, the first 4 tables have correct column widths, because they specify something like:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

      <w:tblGrid>
        <w:gridCol w:w="1885"/>
        <w:gridCol w:w="533"/>
      </w:tblGrid>
 

Parsed in 0.001 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Yours doesn't.

Since afaik FOP doesn't support auto column widths:

the most expedient solution would be for your code to write suitable w:gridCol values.

Hi dazzfayaz,

Hello,

This is an old topic but I don't see any resolution here or elsewhere.
Using v 3.3.6 and setting the XML table widths beforehand, the PDF conversion still sets all columns to equal widths.

Is there any fix/workaround for this issue?
