Export to PDF and table borders

[Karl]

Hi,
I have a radgrid with a table in which has border=0 for layout then a nested table with borders, however when it exports to pdf the border appears on all the tables? 

Any ideas how I can remove the border on first layout table please?

Hello,

Take a look into Table / Cell borders portion of the following documentation.
PDF export

Thanks,
Princy.

Thank you I have tried this but it doesn't work.The border I want to move isn't on the RadGrid itself  but on a table I've put inside the grid.

Hello Karl,

I have resolved your issue by changing the border definition to inline CSS styles. You could observe the old html code and the new in the next two lines.

<table width="550" border="1"  >
<table style="border-width: 1pt; border-style:solid; border-color: #000000; width:500px;">

Additionally, I would recommend using CSS style definitions for the properties that have style representation.

Best wishes,

Thank you. I actually wanted a table without a border but  the same principle applies, inline styles works. I actually got around it by using divs to layout the  tables rather than nesting tables which is probably better anyway.
