To make tables render in a controlled way and similar in both web views and in PDF exports I suggest a “WYSIWYG behavior for table sizes and column widths“. This could also be made as a setting such as “use manually set table column widths in all media”. Why? All is related to support ticket #306539 "PDF export show truncated right column"

Experimenting with a tremendous number of tables I now realize that the Doc360 system is automatically adjusting tables to a set standard (?).

Trying to get tables to look similar in both web and PDF exports I attempted to:

1. use the recommended % width instead of px for max width and column width.

2. avoid multiple inline CSS attributes

3. minimize any included images’ sizes.

All above was done to tables which were:

1. created from scratch

2. copied from other articles with correct looks in PDF.

3. imported from other media

The unwanted result looking back into the code after publishing were always the same:

• set % sizes are swapped into the not recommended px

• column widths are either disregarded or not interpreted as a number, resulting in string such as colwidth="NaN".

• PDF export remained living its own life, showing the unacceptable truncated right column ...

Attached are sample screenshots of the readers view, the editors view, and the from the PDF export causing all this to be investigated. Code samples exists but I suggest that a Doc360 expert try scenarios above.
