I have a table in my project that looks great:
But when I create a PDF, the columns are all messed up:
Is there something I can do to fix this (besides not use tables<g>)?

Re: Tables do not render right in PDF
Hi Ed,
Tables in Help & Manual use HTML logic rather than working like tables in word processors, and that can be a little frustrating at first because of their dynamic behavior. When you're targeting a fixed-width format like PDF you need to plan your tables with some fixed-width columns and at least one variable-width column that can adjust automatically to accommodate the width of the page. For instructions see the topic on managing column widths in tables in the chapter on tables in the Basic Working Procedures section of the help.
