Table width changes when exporting to PDF

[Madhumathi lees]

My tables look the same size in confluence. But when I export my space to pdf in landscape mode, all my tables have diferent size depending on the content of that table. I have looked around so much . I tried making the layout of my table from responsive to fixed width and adding my pdf stylesheet , the following code,

@table
{
table-layout:fixed !important;
width: fixed !important;
}

But no changes are being made.

I found out myself. It wasn't anything to do with the layout in confluence. Rather it was the below code I had to add in pdf stylesheets under look and feel.

table.fixedTableLayout {
table-layout: fixed !important;
width: 98% !important;
}

Hi Madhumathi,

Try selecting the table, setting it to Fixed width, sizing it appropriately, and then exporting. Confluence tables are set to Responsive by default and exporting pages can cause formatting issues in general. Combining the two can have odd affects. Cheers!
