Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, I just feel it should be "cleaner" or
"smarter" (I really like the idea of setting borders, etc all in one place,
table.DefaultCell - now I have it in my own method, also doable), this is
not meant in a bad way, this is a two platform library, which in it self
have some limitations, there are some things that could be made different in
the C# implementation, but it's important that the code look basically the
same on both platforms.
Well, I encountered a server breaking bug in another PDF library, which is
why I switched, compared to that iTextSharp just needs some learning how
things work, so good stuff :-)

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
