I have come across this issue many times. In all of the tables in advanced PDF’s the default text-align is set to justify and so far I cannot find anyway of over riding this. Is it possible to prevent text justification in tables? It only seems to happen when a field has too many characters forcing a line break, well instead of simply breaking the line it justifies the first line making it look ridiculous. For example my client has an email address for one customer that is too long. So when it prints out on documents it shows up like this:

E X A M P L E –

email@email.com

I have tried text-align via css as well as inline styling to no avail.

Found the answer. Turns out there is an inherited p tag within each of the td elements. So for it to be set via css it would look like this:

td p {

text-align: left;

}

Is this how pdf handles the td element?

And how did you figure this out?

Again, very nice, and many thanks.
