I am exporting Html tables via Itextsharp to PDF . It is working fine. There are 2 html tables and those are coming vertically. I need to have them aligned horizontally left and right.
Below is my core html code:

<div>
       <asp:Panel ID="pnltest"  runat="server" >
   <table border = "1" width = "100" style="float:left">
   <tr><td>Name</td><td>Age</td></tr>


   </table>
   <table border = "1" width = "100" style="float:left">
   <tr><td>Name</td><td>Age</td></tr>


   </table>
           </asp:Panel>
   </div>

What I have tried:

Exported html tables via itextsharp dll to PDF. But the table alignment on rendering is coming vertically instead of horizontally.

Hi,

It's better to use code behind rather than HTML to show tables on PDF page. It provides flexibility to design your tables.

follow these code to solve your problem:

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(5); 
            // To show data in table.
            // "5" total number of columns.


            // Here I have set width of every columns.
            float[] widths = new float[] { 100f, 80f, 100f, 90f, 130f };
            table.SetWidths(widths);

            // Name of the header for each column.
            table.AddCell("Name");
            table.AddCell("Age");
            table.AddCell("Band");
            table.AddCell("Designation");
            table.AddCell("Current Project");

            // Adding value in the table.
            // If you are getting list values the use FOREACH loop to show all data in                                                     table  
            table.AddCell(emp.Name);
            table.AddCell(emp.Age.ToString());
            table.AddCell(emp.Band);
            table.AddCell(emp.Designation);
            table.AddCell(emp.Project);
            
            // Here I am adding table to the document.
            document.Add(table);
