  hello, I build a formidable view that has a table and included the shortcode inside an HTML object in my template; some columns display only a digit and every column is getting the same width when pdf is rendered, I’d like to set the columns witdh to get a better use of the space between cells.

  I’ve tried using css display:table, and using width attribute on <th> and <td> but nothing has the desired effect

  could you give any advice?

  Hi,

  To set width you must be able to use “width” attribute on <td> tag, <table> also can accept “cellpadding” attribute to increase space inside cells.

  <table border=”1″ cellpadding=”5″> <tbody> <tr><td width=”20%”>1</td><td>2</td></tr> <tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr> </tbody> </table>

  Unfortunately E2Pdf doesn’t yet support setting borders separately (border-top, border-bottom), however we added this point to add this CSS feature in future releases. As soon as it will be released we will update this thread to notify you. Sorry for inconvenience.
