I have a table (defined using MigraDoc) in which I set the column widths manually. I put in some content (which might be wider than the column). If I export the document to RTF, it looks OK. However, in PDF the part of the content which does not fit in the column overflows on the next line, so that it is drawn over whatever is under it. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?

Hi!

Row height is normally determined automatically, so if content breaks into the next line, the table grows with the contents.

In PDF, text will only break at spaces or hyphens. If a single "word" is wider than the column, it will be drawn over the next column. Insert soft hyphens in long "words" to allow MigraDoc to break them.

Is there a way to "clip" the content to the column (so that the overflowing part will not be visible) instead of breaking it to the next line?
