There's a few suggestions here: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D5Dm00001L6YBPKA3/how-to-write-attributes-into-pdf-report-

 

Long story short: you need to generate a point text feature for every cell and position them in the proper spots. Writing nice tables to PDF is, to put it bluntly, a hassle.

i have read it but will be possible to create a template of pdf then use FME to write the text as point directly in tables .

 

something else to understand better , if I need to create tables in pdf .

it means to create box with coordinates and try to locate them wisely in pdf page formatter .

what is the best method create tables quickly in Fme from your experience?

thanks for your help
