I am able to create multiple rows if they contain the same number of columns: <pre><code>table = new PdfPTable(3); var firstRowCell1 = new PdfPCell( new Phrase ("Row 1 - Column 1")); var firstRowCell2 = new PdfPCell( new Phrase ("Row 2 - Column 2")); var firstRowCell3 = new PdfPCell( new Phrase ("Row 3 - Column 3")); PdfPCell[] row1Cells = { firstRowCell1, firstLineRow2, firstRowCell3 }; var row1 = new PdfPRow(row1Cells); table.Rows.Add(row1); var nextRowCell1 = new PdfPCell( new Phrase ("Row 2 - Column 1")); var nextRowCell2 = new PdfPCell( new Phrase ("Row 2 - Column 2")); var nextRowCell3 = new PdfPCell( new Phrase ("Row 2 - Column 3")); PdfPCell[] row2Cells = { nextRowCell1, nextRowCell2, nextRowCell3 }; var row2 = new PdfPRow(row2Cells); table.Rows.Add(row2); </code></pre> This works fine giving me two rows each with three columns. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/PCFY3.png" alt="enter image description here"> However if I want the first row to just have one long column using Colspan it disappears: <pre><code>var table = new PdfPTable(3); var firstRowCell1 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Row 1 - Column 1")); firstRowCell1.Colspan = 3; PdfPCell[] row1Cells = { firstRowCell1 }; var row1 = new PdfPRow(row1Cells); deptHeaderTable.Rows.Add(row1); var nextRowCell1 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Row 2 - Column 1")); var nextRowCell2 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Row 2 - Column 2")); var nextRowCell3 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Row 2 - Column 3")); PdfPCell[] row2Cells = { nextRowCell1, nextRowCell2, nextRowCell3 }; var row2 = new PdfPRow(row2Cells); deptHeaderTable.Rows.Add(row2); </code></pre> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TYFO5.png" alt="enter image description here"> There are no errors given it just simply does not render. Additionally, I am aware of table.AddCell which automatically starts a new row when the table column limit is reached for the current row. However, I want to use PdfPRow if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
