I want to set spacing between two html tables and border in the top portion alone while rendering the same to PDF in asp.net . I am able to do so in html page by setting the td containing table with padding but while rendering to pdf file the space is not coming.

StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();


strBuilder.Append("<table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width='100%' align='center' border='0'>");
strBuilder.Append("<tr>");
 strBuilder.Append("<td>");
 strBuilder.Append("<table style='border-top: 1px solid #000000;' cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width='100%'>");
strBuilder.Append("<tr>");
strBuilder.Append("<td style='HEIGHT: 33px;padding-left:65px; width: 136px;' align='left' colspan='2'>");

strBuilder.Append("Outward");
strBuilder.Append("</td>");
strBuilder.Append("</tr>");

strBuilder.Append("</table>");
strBuilder.Append("</td>");


//strBuilder.Append("<td style='padding-left:65px;'>");
strBuilder.Append("<td style='align:right'>");
strBuilder.Append("<table border='1' cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width='100%'>");
strBuilder.Append("<tr>");
strBuilder.Append("<td style='HEIGHT: 33px;padding-left:65px; width: 136px;' align='left' colspan='2'>");

strBuilder.Append("Inward");
strBuilder.Append("</td>");
strBuilder.Append("</tr>");

strBuilder.Append("</table>");
strBuilder.Append("</td>");
strBuilder.Append("</table>");

What I have tried:

I am rendering the html table to PDF via itextsharp. Passing the style as Inline. Even after setting padding for the td containing table and border top alone as style it is not working in PDF. It comes fine in html page.

You try to apply this format

C#

Font DateHeading = new Font(FontFactory.GetFont("helvetica", 12, Font.NORMAL));

PdfPTable ExamDetails = new PdfPTable(1);

PdfPCell ExamDateCell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Name", DateHeading));
            ExamDateCell.BorderWidth = 0;
            ExamDateCell.PaddingTop = 10f;
            ExamDateCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
            ExamDetails.AddCell(ExamDateCell);
           ExamDetails.SpacingBefore = 200;
