Tables do not keep their Cell Width formatting when exporting to PDF #5281

Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @Hallsie on GitHub (May 15, 2025).
Describe the Bug
Create a table with 4 columns. The first two are simple Y/N responses in the boxes so I resize to say:
10% | 10% | 30% | 50%
with the width.
When I export the PDF they just all go:
25% | 25% | 25% | 25%
which makes the format look nasty and not really usable at that point in time.
Steps to Reproduce
Expected Behaviour
I would expect that when I make changes to the table that when it is exported the table retains those changes.
Screenshots or Additional Context
I'm at work and they have removed the ability for me to take a screenshot but it's straight forward.
Browser Details
Chrome 136.0.7103.113 (although when I checked it stated updating but it should not change this behavior)
Exact BookStack Version
v25.02

Thanks for raising @Hallsie but I'm going to close this off as a duplicate of existing issue #1280.

ahhh sorry I looked and didn't see that one. I guess I searched weird and that was from 6 years ago lol.

No worries. Just as an alternative (which I've not tested) but using the browser's print to pdf may produce good results here.
I try to ensure the printing of pages is formatted pretty well to allow such options to be used.
The table cell resizing is something we force in PDF exports styles (since manually set column sizes cause more issues without extra processing) but I don't think those apply in the browser print view.
