Allow me to reuse the code from iTextSharp add ( css style or a css file) and download pdf file and slightly change some values:
public static final String CSS = "th { border-top: 5px solid green; } "
+ "td { font-size: 10pt; border-color: gray; border: 3px}";
public static final String HTML = "<html><body><table class='table-bordered'>"
+ "<thead><tr><th>Customer Name</th><th>Customer's Address</th> </tr></thead>"
+ "<tbody><tr><td> XYZ </td><td> Bhubaneswar </td></tr>"
+ "<tr><td> MNP </td><td> Cuttack </td></tr></tbody>"
+ "</table></body></html>";
/**
* @param file
* @throws IOException
* @throws DocumentException
*/
public void createPdf(String file) throws IOException, DocumentException {
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(file));
document.open();
CSSResolver cssResolver = new StyleAttrCSSResolver();
CssFile cssFile = XMLWorkerHelper.getCSS(new ByteArrayInputStream(CSS.getBytes()));
cssResolver.addCss(cssFile);
// HTML
HtmlPipelineContext htmlContext = new HtmlPipelineContext(null);
htmlContext.setTagFactory(Tags.getHtmlTagProcessorFactory());
// Pipelines
PdfWriterPipeline pdf = new PdfWriterPipeline(document, writer);
HtmlPipeline html = new HtmlPipeline(htmlContext, pdf);
CssResolverPipeline css = new CssResolverPipeline(cssResolver, html);
// XML Worker
XMLWorker worker = new XMLWorker(css, true);
XMLParser p = new XMLParser(worker);
p.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(HTML.getBytes()));
document.close();
}
The resulting PDF looks like this:
If you look at the CSS, you see that we defined the border for the <th> tag as border-top: 5px solid green; and the border for the <td> tag as font-size: 10pt; border-color: gray; border: 3px. This proves that iText supports CSS for table borders.
