RE: [iText-questions] Setting the colSpan on a PdfPCell that cont ains a PdfPTable

[Khaled Alakhras]

Maybe you are getting a different result, I am attaching the pdf file generated on my system:

The desired layout:

---------------------------------------
|                     |                       |
---------------------------------------
|                     |       2X2 Table |
---------------------------------------
|               2X2 Table               |
---------------------------------------

Thanks,
Khaled

I don't get it. The first nested table fits where would be Table.Cell3 and
has 2 columns, there's no spanning. Can you draw the expected layout?
