Describe the Bug

Hello,

when exporting a page as a PDF with built-in tables, the size of the columns is evenly distributed. As a result, content is unnecessarily squeezed.
It also didn't work when I put in fixed values, it automatically translates the fixed values to relative values.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a table with multiple columns
Column width changed so that all columns have different widths
Export as PDF

Expected Behaviour

When exporting, all columns should have the same relative width as seen in Bookstack.

Screenshots or Additional Context

Thanks for raising @Man-in-Black, but I'm going to close this off as a duplicate as I feel #1280 covers this.
