Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ \pdfliteral inside table

[Ahmed Sokar]

I want to write dotted words inside a table.

But using \pdfliteral inside a table, ruins the formation of the table.

Does anybody have a solution?

Code: Select all

 \documentclass[12pt,oneside,a4paper]{memoir}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[]\centering
        \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
            \hline
            \pdfliteral{q 1 Tr .5 w [0.5 0.5] 0d}{arg1}\pdfliteral{Q}&d&d&d\\\hline
            \_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_\\\hline
            \_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_\\\hline
            \_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_\\\hline
        \end{tabular}
    \end{table}
\end{document}

Hi Ahmed!

With pdfTeX version 1.30.0 or later, you can the optional page argument. So that literal code refers to the origin (bottom-left corner of the page) and can be enclosed with q Q.

Working code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,oneside,a4paper]{memoir}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[]\centering
        \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
            \hline
            \pdfliteral page{q 1 Tr .5 w [0.5 0.5] 0d}{arg1}\pdfliteral page{Q}&d&d&d\\\hline
            \_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_\\\hline
            \_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_\\\hline
            \_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_ &\_\_\_\_\\\hline
        \end{tabular}
    \end{table}
\end{document}
