Here are the files I promised to send.
I see two problems:
1. you set the width of the table, but... that line is ignored:
table.setTotalWidth(tblWidth);
You forgot to lock the with:
table.setLockedWidth(true);
By adding this line right after setTotalWidth, you'll see that the
tables now fill the complete area.
It's even easier if you drop these two lines and use:
table.setWidthPercentage(100);
2. you are using setAbsolutePosition AND you are adding the image to the
column. You shouldn't do that. I suggest dropping setAbsolutePosition.
If you do that, the image is aligned with the tables (assuming you fix
the problem mentioned in 1). If you want to add some indentation, you
can achieve this for instance by wrapping the image inside a chunk.
I've adapted your example so that you can have a look at it.
(It adds the logo twice, once aligned with the tables, once indented.)
