Hallo everybody,

Do you know what is the reason to generate tables in PDF files of fixed
width and fixed (probably hardcoded) column width? Tables look really
ugly! Do you know if I can adjust something somewhere to get tables in
PDF files to look better?

FOP (or FO rendering engine) does not support tables that auto size. see http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-table

I needed to fix some tables quick.

Professional patches welcome ;-)

You could count the chars in a all the cells then allocate the space accordingly. This would work better but would have problems with tables that involved images.

See the files in FORREST_HOME/main/skins/common/xslt/fo/
