Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Essential PDF.

We can create borderless table by assigning the cell color as white. Kindly use the below code snippet to create borderless table.

// Creating pen style
PdfPen borderPen = new PdfPen(Color.White);
// Assigning the cell style as penstyle
PdfCellStyle defStyle = new PdfCellStyle();
defStyle.BorderPen = borderPen;
// Assigning the penstyle as default
table.Style.DefaultStyle = defStyle;

Please look into the below sample from the specified location and let me know if this helps.

That's not really a solution, it's a work-around! I'm loading a .jpg in the background which has a white/green background. So I now have to make sure the tables aren't drawn over the green background or you'll see white borders.

Hi Dennis,

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you.

Could you please try to set the BorderPen as Transparent color in order to draw borderless table. Kindly look into the code snippet to draw the border less table,

PdfCellStyle style = new PdfCellStyle();
style.BorderPen = new PdfPen(PdfBrushes.Transparent);
table2.Style.DefaultStyle = style;

Please look into the sample and let me know if this helps,
