[iText-questions] Table cell spacing

[Wendy Smoak]

I've created a simple Table and set the spacing to 5.  I'm getting 5 between 
the cells and the border, but 10 between the cells themselves.  This sort of 
makes sense, as each cell has its own spacing and so adjacent cells have 
double spacing between them, but it looks strange (and isn't how HTML tables 
behave, IIRC.)  Is this the expected behavior?

So then I switched to PdfPTable... and it does not seem to have spacing at 
all.  I found a message in the list archives saying to use a nested table to 
get the effect of cell spacing, but that doesn't do quite the same thing--  
Table spacing gives a windowpane effect, of floating boxes inside a larger 
box.  PdfPTables within PdfPTables is _first_ a grid, and then an inner 
border on the cell. Example:

Is there a way to get even spacing with Table, or does anyone have examples 
of fancy PdfPTable layouts to share?

How do you turn off the 'border' on PdfPTable?  If I could get the internal 
gridlines to go away, and leave the rectangle border around the entire 
table, it would look like I want it to.

Thanks,
Wendy Smoak
