[Solved] Table borders disapear when exporting to PDF

Post by CallMePickle »

Whenever I create a table in Writer, and then export that table to a PDF, the table shows the borders between cells fine.

However whenever I copy-paste a table from ChatGPT into Writer, then export that file to a PDF, the table does not show the borders.

The data in clearly in cells, and lined up nicely as I would want, but the cell borders simply are not there.

What could be causing this?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

It means that the HTML structure of the ChatGPT page is not translated in borders with color or enough thickness.
Select the table in Writer, then play with the border settings until it exports fine in PDF.
