Thank you so much for your help Lisa. I just sent them my test project. Hopefully I get a good approach

Though I'm working just for a couple of weeks with Flare, I already recognized this behaviour.
I created a new table class with different width values - but no success. The width has been changed, but the page-breaks were set as before.

I have also set the width of various columns.

FYI: I ...

I created a new project with default values and inserted my table with the width of 400px.
The output (pdf) wasn't different at all

If you're still betting on the width, you can try yourself

Lisa, I think you cannot help us, because the rowspan-problem is caused by flares pdf-engine imho. Maybe your developers will use another engine in the future (e.g. http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/).

Well, I guess these Styles are mostly default.


table
{
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
}
table#symbol_tables tr td p
{
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 5px;
}

table.web_footer
{
font-family: Arial;
width: 100%;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-top-color: #b0b1b3 ...

Hello Lisa,

I should have said that I used a table with no styles. I didn't specify a column/row width/height.

Once again my output with and without rowspan.

And if you'd like to try yourself I'll attach the code.

Thanks!

Hello,

we are experiencing problems with large tables in PDF output.
Most of our tables have a describing info in the first column with a rowspan of >1. (see image standard-table.png)
If we are building the PDF, Flare is obviously having problems with this. (see images pdfoutput-page1-3.png)

I know that I can layer the div's. But as you said, it won't work in print output.

Thanks for your bug-report about z-index. I haven't seen any bugs so far

Thank you guys for your help, but I solved the problem by using screenshots with the arranged div-containers. A quick-and-dirty solution ;-)

I need to place the number one above the image in a certain position. Therefore the parent div got the attribute position:relative. The child div with the ...

Ok - due to my bad explanation I've uploaded two images.

And I used this simple HTML Code:
<div style="position:relative">
<span style="position:absolute;top:25px;left:120px;">❶</span>
<div style="width:300;height:200px;background:green"></div>
</div>

Hey and a happy new year!

Have you ever experienced problems with positioning div's inside a div?
This is my HTML:
<div style="position:relative;">
<img src="../Resources/Images/Topics/030000019.png" style="height: 133px;width: 496px;" class="img_4" />
<div style="position:absolute;top:25px;left ...
