Re: iText 5 - Draw a table with table border , But No borders inside the table

I had found a simple solution for the above use case - emebdding a table
with no borders into a table with single cell.
But , I had other customizations which could not be done by above solution
but can be easily done with the way you described :).

Regards,
Nishant
