  • Why are you doing this with "table", "tr", and "td"? Why not use "apex:pageBlockTable" and "apex:column" or something similar?

  • You have the renderAs="PDF" which will make the page a PDF, but I don't understand why you are using the basic HTML tags for formatting instead of the apex ones like "apex:pageBlockTable" and "apex:column". Here is a short example -> sfdcpoint.com/salesforce/visualforce-page-render-pdf

  • @Jagular:I have custom and standard objects which are not related to each other .All the data should get displayed in a Page in a PDF format.

    @Jagular - Sometimes it is just easier to use standard HTML when doing things like this. Take a lot of the salesforce gotcha's out of the picture.....After all, VF tags all render as the html tags Nikkey is using anyways. Try adding a style class to a <apex:inputselect> salesforce removes it and you have to go through some creative work to add your own classes to it as document.ready does not work to add the class either. (Just an example I had to deal with yesterday).

@nikkey :

  1. Use on main table and two td.

  2. inside td use another table.

  3. Finally you will end of with 3 table, one main table and two tables inside td which will resolve your issues.

I used same logic to one of my requirement with repeat and it works fine.

below is td styling. 

 <td style="vertical-align:top;border-bottom: none;">

Thanks Pradeep
