hmm I guess maybe https://github.com/BobLd/tabula-sharp can help me? eventhough it seems to primary be for exacting data from tables. |

hi @markat1, tabula-sharp is only for extracting tables, and not for table creations. The concept of 'table' does not exist in pdf (hence the need to libraries to extract tabular data)... In order for you to display a table in a pdf document, you will need to draw the line and position the text yourself. What could be added in PdfPig is a helper class top make it easier to draw table, but this is not a short term plan. |
