Describe the bug
When exporting to PDF, the output file does not respect the table column width as displayed in the page. It defaults to equal size for all columns.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a table with uneven column widths. (i.e. Column 1 = ~50%, Column 2 = ~20%, Column 3 = ~20%, Column 4 = ~10%,
  2. Export page to PDF
  3. See effect on output PDF file. All columns will be 25% each.

Expected behavior
PDF output should respect the column width set on the UI.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

  • Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): 0.25.1
  • Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Docker

@kevin39 No ETA. The tricky thing is that the issue itself is a fix for a prior (generally more problematic) issue.
