[iText-questions] How to merge double border line to one single lien when using nested table?

Thu, 04 Mar 2004 11:02:34 -0800

I am new to iText.
I try to use PdfPTable class to create my table.
I created a nested table within another table. However, I always get double bored line. One comes from my nested table, another one comes from out table.
How could I merge them to one line like nested html table?
 
Please see my follow code and attached PDF file.
