    copied!<p>I'm using the "pipeline" technique, below, to convert an html string into PDF format.</p> <p>It works fine, except, that the html tables apparently default to the center of the page. --Is this the default behavior? If so, is there any work-a-round?</p> <p>Anyway, I would like the tables to be <strong><em>left</em></strong> justified. </p> <p>How can I accomplish this?</p> <p>Note: "text-align: left;" and "margin-left: 5px", for example, have NO effect... The old-fashioned "align: left" attribute is not supported, either.</p> <p>Thanks for any help/guidance!</p> <hr> <h1>java code snippet:</h1> <pre><code> - - - document.open(); HtmlPipelineContext htmlContext = new HtmlPipelineContext(null); htmlContext.setTagFactory(Tags.getHtmlTagProcessorFactory()); // CSS CSSResolver cssResolver = new StyleAttrCSSResolver(); InputStream csspathtest = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("css/testpdf.css"); CssFile cssfiletest = XMLWorkerHelper.getCSS(csspathtest); cssResolver.addCss(cssfiletest); Pipeline&lt;?&gt; pipeline = new CssResolverPipeline(cssResolver, new HtmlPipeline(htmlContext, new PdfWriterPipeline(document, writer))); XMLWorker worker = new XMLWorker(pipeline, true); XMLParser p = new XMLParser(worker); p.parse(is); //new FileInputStream("results/demo2/walden.html")); // step document.close(); - - - </code></pre> <hr> <h1>css snippet:</h1> <pre><code> div { margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; } h2 { color:blue; text-align: center; font-size: 16pt; margin-bottom: 20px; } h6 { color:#777; text-align: center; font-size: 14pt; margin-bottom: 20px; } p { color: green; text-align: center; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 20px; } table { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: blue; border-color: #777; border-style: solid; border-width: .1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; margin-bottom: 50px; margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; } th { color: #777; font-size: 10pt; background-color: lightgrey; padding: 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } td { font-size: 8pt; color: navy; border-top-color: #777; border-top-width: .01px; padding: 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; } </code></pre>
