unable to preserve trailing white space of a simple text or also in a table contents (text)

[vinuhegdesit]

Can you please add a keyword that can apply for whole pdf to preserve the leading or trailing whitespace. I know there is one property "preserveLeadingSpaces", it only works for simple "text", it doesnt work for table contents. I am actually in a requirement to preserve trailing white spaces for a table contents.

I tried it and it works in table too. Some example for reprocedure your problem runnable on playground?

Sorry I am unable to provide you the example, but surely it doesn't work. I have tried it many times. Can you please tell me the property that you have used to retain the trailing whitespace for a string content in a table or outside the table ?

How to set preserveLeadingSpaces to texts is described here:

pdfmake/examples/styling_properties.js

Lines 29 to 33 in 41ed753

	{text: '{', preserveLeadingSpaces: true},
	{text: ' "sample": {', preserveLeadingSpaces: true},
	{text: ' "json": "nested"', preserveLeadingSpaces: true},
	{text: ' }', preserveLeadingSpaces: true},
	{text: '}', preserveLeadingSpaces: true},

And text element you can use in table cell (how to create table is described in readme).
Of course is possible set it to style dictionary (see readme) or to defaultStyle (see readme).
