On Demand Confuence - PDF Export - Tables have equal size columns, need text-sized

Ira Chandler

Apparently, PDF export takes any table and forces the columns to be all the same width. Three columns are forced to 33% each regardless of the text. I would like them to NOT specify the width, and let the columns achieve their natural width based on the content. Cannot find how to do this. Certainly there is a CSS override (already using one to increase the font size) but I am not savvy enough to find it.

Thanks in advance.

This behaviour is defined by the CSS property "table-layout". It can be "auto" or "fixed". Try "auto" to have the table automatically adjust to the content inside the table cell.

Thanks, Steffan. Will try it shortly!

I added the code

table 
{
    border-collapse: collapse;
    table-layout:auto;
}

And it works like a CHARM!

Thank you Steffan!!

You added that code on the PDF Stylesheet on the Look&Feel section??

@Jorge:

Yes, that is right. You must enter the CSS code at
Browse > Space Admin > Look and Feel > PDF Stylesheet > PDF Export Stylesheet
