Conceptually tables are similar to columns. They can however have headers, borders and cells spanning over multiple columns/rows.

 

dd TDocDefinition

 dd.BeginContent()

  dd.AddContentProperty('layout', '"lightHorizontalLines"') ! optional

 

   ! headers are automatically repeated if the table spans over multiple pages

   ! you can declare how many rows should be treated as headers

  dd.BeginTable('"headerRows": 1, "widths": [ "*", "auto", 100, "*" ]')

 

      dd.BeginRow()

          dd.AddText('First'); dd.AddText('Second'); dd.AddText('Third'); dd.AddText('The last one')

      dd.EndRow()

 

      dd.BeginRow()

          dd.AddText('Value 1'); dd.AddText('Value 2'); dd.AddText('Value 3'); dd.AddText('Value 4')

      dd.EndRow()

 

      dd.BeginRow()

          dd.AddText('Bold value', '"bold": true'); dd.AddText('Val 2'); dd.AddText('Val 3'); dd.AddText('Val 4')

      dd.EndRow()

[=== compare with pdfMake:

var docDefinition = {

content: [

   {

    layout: 'lightHorizontalLines', // optional

     table: {

       // headers are automatically repeated if the table spans over multiple pages

      // you can declare how many rows should be treated as headers

       headerRows: 1,

      widths: [ '*', 'auto', 100, '*' ],

 

      body: [

         [ 'First', 'Second', 'Third', 'The last one' ],

         [ 'Value 1', 'Value 2', 'Value 3', 'Value 4' ],

         [ { text: 'Bold value', bold: true }, 'Val 2', 'Val 3', 'Val 4' ]
