Hi Mister Bean,
Thanks for the reply.I had refered the example, it just adds a line
between columns. But the requirement here is to add border for all the
columns. I added the borders to PdfPtables , as a workaround, only on the
sides of the table.
But I have a new problem now. Even though i specify the gutter width
as 0, i am getting space between columns I added.
Can you please tell me how to remove the gutter between the columns?
Also is it possible to add bookmarks to document when we add a PdfPTable to
MultiColumnText?
If not, please give some suggestions to use any other suitable element for
these two requirements.
