Post subject:  Inter Cell Distance In Table
I'm trying to achieve a look on my tables, that doesn't seem to be possible in MigraDoc, but I want to try asking here before giving up.

So, First of all I'm using nested tables, meaning I have tables inside table Cells.

And I need to draw something akin to this image, where the tables are all separated. Those tables are all cells inside a table parent that has 3 columns.

But, what I am getting is this:

in this one I'm using the
Code:
Table.LeftPadding
and
Code:
Table.RightPadding
trying to see if it would work giving space between the inner cells (tables), to no avail.

The best I managed was using the
Code:
Borders.Left.Width = 5
and
Code:
Borders.Right.Width = 5
that gave this result:

which, as you can see, isn't perfect, but its close.

I can't add nor subtract objects from the table, nor can I add columns to the parent table, I can, altough, change the properties objects inside the table, except the padding, distance, etc properties.

So I wanted to know if there is any property that I can change to make this happen.

P.S: I would Also Like to add that, this is not as important as the main question, because I can live without it, but, is there any way to add padding/margin/space top/bottom to the cell? something like line spacing, to make it 'taller' ??

Some kind of help or guidance would be appretiated.

I would create a parent table with 5 columns and use the two new dummy columns to add space between the three visible tables.

I would like too, but, as I said in the post, I can't change the number of columns, the problem would be much simpler if I could. isn't there any other alternative?

Are there technical reasons or political reasons that prevent this?

How about adding dummy columns to the nested tables? Or is that also verboten?

This problem ocorred on a bunch of pdf methods that together could make custumizable pdfs, so the actual code that wrote the pdfs couldn't be changed, but I managed to talk with my bosses and showed them that we actually needed to put a column at each side otherwise it wouldn't work.

as such, I resolved my problem, thank you for your help!
