Bottom border of Table disappearing

[db89]

Hello All,

I have a strange issue, where using Table, Layout and Render tool is cutting of the bottom border of a data table when it is flowing from page 1 to page 2. 

I tried grouping them but doesnt work if the no. of data per row in a table is more. I have uploaded the workflow and the PDF which is exported from Alteryx.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Like so?

Hi db89,
I’ve reviewed the workflow and PDF, and I understand the issue with the missing bottom border when the table spans pages.

To fix this, I added a custom row grouping logic using the Record ID and Formula tools before the Table tool to ensure the border appears correctly at page breaks.

Please refer to the attached:
.yxzp file – updated workflow with the fix
PDF – confirms the border issue is resolved
Screenshot – shows tool placement

Let me know if you need anything else!

@GrowthNatives hey thanks!

Whenever i am running this workflow, I am still having the same issue.

@caltang I tried this earlier, however my PDF needs to have Header of a logo and footer with pg no. and above each table there is a paragraph. which makes it more cumbersome to fit even after grouping them.

Well, if you can provide those assets, we could build something up for you - how does that sound?

Hi db89,
Thanks for following up!

After reviewing everything carefully, I found that the workflow logic for grouping rows (using PageGroup) is correct.
However, the issue you're seeing is caused by missing border settings in both the Table Tool and the Layout Tool.

Here’s the root cause:

• In the Table Tool, the "Borders" setting for each column is still set to None

  • In the Layout Tool, although you have enabled the outer border, it mainly wraps the full layout — not individual row borders inside the table.

    

    What you need to do:
  • In the Table Tool, set each column’s Borders to Bottom (or All, depending on the look you want).
  • In the Layout Tool, keep the Border option enabled as you have done (good job here).
  • Double-check that Group By is correctly set to PageGroup (which it is).
