    Hello,

    I tried to generate with mPDF a table on a DIN A4 page, but the table cells are shrinked together. 
    I have tried different things to get the cells in the right size. In my browser it works fine, but only in my browser.
    You can see here:

    Perhaps is there anybody out there with a suggestion, what can I do.

    I have read it.
    But it don't help me.
    I use for the correct view in my Browser min-width and additional for mPDF width.
    But it ignores it.

    No matter what you do, the table cell will shrink to fit the largest cell in one page. It would be nice to have an option to not shrink the table cells and let the table cell continue on multiple pages, if the content is very large.. (Consider a bullted list of 200 points).

    Ian,
    Can we have a fix for this?

    Thanks

    It would require a totally different way of writing the tables (not a simple 'fix'). I have developed mPDF on the same lines a HTML+CSS i.e. tables are recommended for displaying data only - not for layout. There are options to use "float" on block elements which may work for some.

    I don't wanna use the table for Layout, but I want to get a table with fixed size.
    A normal style="width: XXXpx;" in a td will be completly ignored.

    The work-around is to use div with the width.

    But the height is ignored by div and by td it is too big ie. I use the dpi 300 and a height of 57px and in Photoshop 176px.
    Why?

    My document size A4L with 300dpi has following pixel: 2480 x 3508

    The system is really tricky.
    When you use absolute length td accepts width-style.
