Add Tables to PDF in Python

Adding tables to existing PDF documents is a common requirement for data presentation, structured content, and reporting. Aspose.PDF for Python via .NET provides a practical API for inserting and formatting tables in existing PDFs.

This guide provides step-by-step examples for table creation, column sizing, borders, rows and cells, and saving the modified document. It also covers advanced options such as cell borders, margins, padding, and AutoFit settings for dynamic table sizing.

Use this page when you need to add new tables to existing PDFs and control their layout behavior in Python.

Creating Basic Tables

Creating Table

This example demonstrates how to create a Table in a PDF document with borders and multiple rows.

  1. Create a new PDF document.
  2. Adds a blank page to the document.
  3. Initialize the Table.
  4. Set the overall table border.
  5. Set the border for individual cells.
  6. Add Rows and Cells.
  7. Insert the table into the page.
  8. Save the PDF to the specified path.
import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def create_table(outfile: str) -> None:
    # Create new PDF document
    document = ap.Document()
    page = document.pages.add()
    # Initializes a new instance of the Table
    table = ap.Table()
    # Set the table border color as LightGray
    table.border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 5, ap.Color.light_gray)
    # Set the border for table cells
    table.default_cell_border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 5, ap.Color.light_gray)
    # Create a loop to add 10 rows
    for row_count in range(10):
        # Add row to table
        row = table.rows.add()
        # Add table cells
        row.cells.add("Column (" + str(row_count) + ", 1)")
        row.cells.add("Column (" + str(row_count) + ", 2)")
        row.cells.add("Column (" + str(row_count) + ", 3)")
    # Add table object to first page of input document
    page.paragraphs.add(table)

    # Save updated document containing table object
    document.save(outfile)

Adding Images to Table cells

This code snippet shows how to insert images into Table cells in a PDF document.

  1. Create a new PDF document.
  2. Initialize the Table.
  3. Set column widths in points.
  4. A text fragment is added to the first cell.
  5. An ‘ap.Image()’ instance is added to the second cell.
  6. Set the path to the image file with ‘img.file’.
  7. The ‘img.fix_width’ and ‘img.fix_height’ control the image size inside the cell.
  8. Insert the Table into the PDF page.
  9. Save the PDF.
import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def add_image(image: str, outfile: str) -> None:
    # Instantiate Document object
    document = ap.Document()
    page = document.pages.add()
    # Instantiate a table object
    table = ap.Table()
    # Set width for table cells
    table.column_widths = "200 100"

    # Create row object and add it to table instance
    row = table.rows.add()
    # Create cell object and add it to row instance
    cell = row.cells.add()
    # Add textfragment to paragraphs collection of cell object
    cell.paragraphs.add(ap.text.TextFragment(image))
    # Create an image instance
    img = ap.Image()
    # Set image type as SVG
    # Path for source file
    img.file = image
    # Set width for image instance
    img.fix_width = 50
    # Set height for image instance
    img.fix_height = 50
    # Add another cell to row object
    cell = row.cells.add()
    # Add SVG image to paragraphs collection of recently added cell instance
    cell.paragraphs.add(img)

    # Add table to paragraphs collection of page object
    page.paragraphs.add(table)
    # Save PDF file
    document.save(outfile)

You can add SVG images into table cells in a PDF document:

import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def add_svg_image(images: list[str], outfile: str) -> None:
    # Instantiate Document object
    document = ap.Document()
    page = document.pages.add()
    # Instantiate a table object
    table = ap.Table()
    # Set width for table cells
    table.column_widths = "200 100"
    for image in images:
        # Create row object and add it to table instance
        row = table.rows.add()
        # Create cell object and add it to row instance
        cell = row.cells.add()
        # Add textfragment to paragraphs collection of cell object
        cell.paragraphs.add(ap.text.TextFragment(image))
        # Create an image instance
        img = ap.Image()
        # Set image type as SVG
        img.file_type = ap.ImageFileType.SVG
        # Path for source file
        img.file = image
        # Set width for image instance
        img.fix_width = 50
        # Set height for image instance
        img.fix_height = 50
        # Add another cell to row object
        cell = row.cells.add()
        # Add SVG image to paragraphs collection of recently added cell instance
        cell.paragraphs.add(img)

    # Add table to paragraphs collection of page object
    page.paragraphs.add(table)
    # Save PDF file
    document.save(outfile)

ColSpan and RowSpan in Tables

This example shows how to merge table cells vertically and horizontally to create complex table layouts.

  1. Set the overall table border.
  2. Set the default cell borders.
  3. Merge two cells horizontally into one.
  4. Merge the cell vertically across two rows.
  5. Row 5 accounts for the rowspan by skipping the merged column.
  6. Insert the table into the page.
  7. Save the PDF.
import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def add_rowspan_or_colspan(outfile: str) -> None:
    # Create new PDF document
    document = ap.Document()
    page = document.pages.add()

    # Initializes a new instance of the Table
    table = ap.Table()
    # Set the table border color as LightGray
    table.border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.5, ap.Color.black)
    # Set the border for table cells
    table.default_cell_border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.5, ap.Color.black)
    # Add 1st row to table
    row1 = table.rows.add()
    for cell_count in range(1, 5):
        # Add table cells
        row1.cells.add("Test 1" + str(cell_count))

    # Add 2nd row to table
    row2 = table.rows.add()
    row2.cells.add("Test 2 1")
    cell = row2.cells.add("Test 2 2")
    cell.col_span = 2
    row2.cells.add("Test 2 4")

    # Add 3rd row to table
    row3 = table.rows.add()
    row3.cells.add("Test 3 1")
    row3.cells.add("Test 3 2")
    row3.cells.add("Test 3 3")
    row3.cells.add("Test 3 4")

    # Add 4th row to table
    row4 = table.rows.add()
    row4.cells.add("Test 4 1")
    cell = row4.cells.add("Test 4 2")
    cell.row_span = 2
    row4.cells.add("Test 4 3")
    row4.cells.add("Test 4 4")

    # Add 5th row to table
    row5 = table.rows.add()
    row5.cells.add("Test 5 1")
    row5.cells.add("Test 5 3")
    row5.cells.add("Test 5 4")

    # Add table object to first page of input document
    page.paragraphs.add(table)
    # Save updated document containing table object
    document.save(outfile)

    # Create new PDF document
    document = ap.Document()
    page = document.pages.add()
    # Instantiate a table object
    tab1 = ap.Table()
    # Add the table in paragraphs collection of the desired section
    page.paragraphs.add(tab1)
    # Set with column widths of the table
    tab1.column_widths = "50 50 50"
    # Set default cell border using BorderInfo object
    tab1.default_cell_border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.1)
    # Set table border using another customized BorderInfo object
    tab1.border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 1)
    # Create MarginInfo object and set its left, bottom, right and top margins
    margin = ap.MarginInfo()
    margin.top = 5
    margin.left = 5
    margin.right = 5
    margin.bottom = 5
    # Set the default cell padding to the MarginInfo object
    tab1.default_cell_padding = margin
    # Create rows in the table and then cells in the rows
    row1 = tab1.rows.add()
    row1.cells.add("col1")
    row1.cells.add("col2")
    row1.cells.add()
    text = ap.text.TextFragment("col3 with large text string")

Table Layout and Sizing

Auto-fitting columns and rows

This code snippet shows how to automatically adjust table column widths to fit the page. Please note that in the parameter table.column_widths = “50 50 50” - its points. But you can also specify centimeters (cm), inch or %.

  1. Set initial column widths.
  2. Automatically adjusts columns to fit the page width.
  3. Define cell and table borders.
  4. The ’table.default_cell_padding’ uses ‘MarginInfo()’ for consistent spacing inside cells.
  5. Add Rows with ’table.rows.add()’, and add Cells with ‘row.cells.add()’.
  6. Save the PDF.
import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def auto_fit(outfile: str) -> None:
    # Create new PDF document
    document = ap.Document()
    page = document.pages.add()
    # Instantiate a table object
    table = ap.Table()

    page.paragraphs.add(table)

    table.column_widths = "50 50 50"
    table.column_adjustment = ap.ColumnAdjustment.AUTO_FIT_TO_WINDOW

    table.default_cell_border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.1)

    table.border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 1)

    margin = ap.MarginInfo()
    margin.top = 5
    margin.left = 5
    margin.right = 5
    margin.bottom = 5

    table.default_cell_padding = margin

    row1 = table.rows.add()
    row1.cells.add("col1")
    row1.cells.add("col2")
    row1.cells.add("col3")
    row2 = table.rows.add()
    row2.cells.add("item1")
    row2.cells.add("item2")
    row2.cells.add("item3")

    document.save(outfile)

    # Add page
    page = document.pages.add()

    # Create table instance
    table = ap.Table()

    # Set border style for table
    table.border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, ap.Color.red)

    # Set default border style for table with border color as Red
    table.default_cell_border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, ap.Color.red)

    # Specify table columns width
    table.column_widths = "100 100"

    # Create a loop to add 200 rows for table
    for counter in range(201):
        row = ap.Row()
        table.rows.add(row)

        cell1 = ap.Cell()
        cell1.paragraphs.add(ap.text.TextFragment(f"Cell {counter}, 0"))
        row.cells.add(cell1)

        cell2 = ap.Cell()
        cell2.paragraphs.add(ap.text.TextFragment(f"Cell {counter}, 1"))
        row.cells.add(cell2)

        # When 10 rows are added, render new row in new page
        if counter % 10 == 0 and counter != 0:
            row.is_in_new_page = True

    # Add table to paragraphs collection of PDF file
    page.paragraphs.add(table)

    # Save PDF document

Repeating Columns

The function ‘add_repeating_columns’ creates a PDF document with a table that has repeating columns. It sets up a bordered table, adds headers, fills in data rows, and saves the generated PDF file to the specified location. Setting this property will cause the table to break to the next page column-wise and repeat the given column count at the start of the next page.

  1. Initializes a new PDF document.
  2. Adds a page with custom dimensions.
  3. Set Table Border Style.
  4. Initialize Table.
  5. Add table to the PDF page.
  6. Add header row.
  7. Add data rows.
  8. Save PDF Document.
import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def add_repeating_columns(outfile: str) -> None:
    # Create PDF document
    document = ap.Document()

    # Add page
    page = document.pages.add()
    page.set_page_size(ap.PageSize.a5.height, ap.PageSize.a5.width)

    # Define border
    border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.5, ap.Color.light_gray)

    # Create table
    table = ap.Table()
    table.broken = ap.TableBroken.VERTICAL_IN_SAME_PAGE
    table.column_adjustment = ap.ColumnAdjustment.AUTO_FIT_TO_CONTENT
    table.repeating_columns_count = 5
    table.border = border
    table.default_cell_border = border

Create a PDF Table with Rotated Text Cells

Create a table in a PDF using Python and Aspose.PDF with text rotated at different angles inside each cell. It is useful for vertical headers, creative layouts, compact tables, and custom report formatting.

import aspose.pdf as ap
from aspose.pdf import Color, HorizontalAlignment
from os import path
import sys

def rotated_text_table(outfile: str) -> None:
    # Create PDF document
    document = ap.Document()

    # Add page
    page = document.pages.add()

    # Initializes a new instance of the Table
    table = ap.Table()
    table.border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.5, Color.black)
    table.default_cell_border = ap.BorderInfo(ap.BorderSide.ALL, 0.5, Color.black)

    # Add 1st row to table
    row1 = table.rows.add()
    row1.min_row_height = 200

    for cell_count in range(4):
        # Add table cells
        cell = row1.cells.add()

        tf = ap.text.TextFragment(f"Cell 1 {cell_count - 1}")
        tf.text_state.rotation = 90 * cell_count
        tf.horizontal_alignment = HorizontalAlignment.CENTER

        cell.paragraphs.add(tf)

    # Add table object to first page of input document
    page.paragraphs.add(table)

    # Save result
    document.save(outfile)
