Hi,

When a table with cell borders are split into multiple pages, the cell border in the middle of the page will either appear at the end of the first page, or at the beginning of the second page. It will NOT be duplicated. So if this is what you are trying to achieve, then unfortunately there is no way to do that.

There are a few options to avoid such "open bottom" tables. One way is not to use horizontal cell border lines --- use different colors instead. For example, rows background colors alternating between white and gray. Another way is to use table header and footer. Table header and footer will automatically be repeated at the beginning and the end of each table "segment". So it can "close" the "open bottom" table for you. See here for more details about table header/footer feature:

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you still have any more questions.

Thanks

Hi,

Please try to zoom in the file in your PDF Viewer and see if the line appears. Sometimes PDF Viewer application would hide a line if it is too thin.

If that's not the problem, you can send us a small test application to demonstrate the problem and we will investigate further. See here for more details on how to send test project to us:

Hi,

It is not possible for us to address such issues on our side. Internally PDF represents line width in float value. When this float value is displayed, the PDF Viewer application must round it to the nearest pixel value based on the device that it is being rendered on. Each PDFViewer has their own logic/algorithm to decide how to round the line width and when to show or not show a line. The rule of thumb is the higher resolution the output device is, the more accurate the result will appear. This is why when you zoom in you will be able to see the "real" line. Likewise, when you print it it should appear as well.

Because there are numerous PDFViewer application out there, it is not possible for us to tweak the value on our end and "hope" they will like our tweak. Instead we write the "real" value in the PDF file and at their mercy on however they want to display it.

Thanks!
