CSS styles showing framed border on rendered PDF visual force page

Question

I'm not able to show just a solid border around visualforce data tables rendered on a pdf using the following visualforce tag and CSS. table shows as a framed style.

<apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" id="section2c" title="Expiring Contract Experience" showHeader="true" rendered="{!NOT(PriorYRcontractSectionList.size == 0)}" > 
         <apex:outputPanel id="out2c">
            <apex:actionstatus startText="loading...">
                <apex:facet name="stop" >
                    <apex:outputPanel >

Answer 1

Table has some default borders and you have following padding or spacing in your code:

• try removing cellpadding="5" in datatable as well as padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; in allPDFdatatables class style. Also remove any spacing
