An invisible border of pdfptable

Question

I am using iText library for generating pdf files in Java. I am writing data in pdfptable , how can I make the borders of table invisible?

Answer 1

The Border Elements of the PdfPTable are defined by the PdfPCell which are added to the table. Each Cell will have its own style/formatting. Here is the API: http://api.itextpdf.com/

Example

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2); PdfPCell cellOne = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Hello")); PdfPCell cellTwo = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("World"));  cellOne.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); cellOne.setBackgroundColor(new Color(255,255,45));  cellTwo.setBorder(Rectangle.BOX);  table.addCell(cellOne); table.addCell(cellTwo); 

If you want more detail about the Rectangle/Border values, take a look at the IText Constant values section for Rectangle, here : http://api.itextpdf.com/constant-values.html

Answer 2

In my app it works like this:

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2); table.getDefaultCell().setBorder(0); ...
