Issue with Fixed Table Layout in HTML to PDF Conversion

Hi GleamTech Support Team,

We are encountering an issue with GleamTech’s HTML to PDF conversion where fixed table layouts are not being preserved correctly.
In our HTML, the table is defined with table-layout: fixed, and each column has an explicit width set. However, after conversion to PDF, the fixed column widths appear to be dropped, and the table is rendered with flexible column widths instead. This causes the output PDF layout to differ from the expected result.

As a temporary workaround, we implemented the following process:
  1. Convert the HTML to DOCX
  2. Edit the tables using POI
  3. Remove tabGrid and add tblLayout to tblPr
  4. Convert the DOCX to PDF
This workaround produces the expected layout, but we would prefer for GleamTech’s HTML to PDF conversion to preserve the original table layout attributes correctly.

Could you please investigate this issue and advise whether this can be fixed in the converter? It would be greatly appreciated if you could look into this.

Thank you.
