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.
