I'm using iTextSharp version 5.1.2. There is no FactoryProperties.cs file, no InsertStyle method, and IncTable.cs file. How can I modify iTextSharp's source to get background color and table border color? I can't figure out how to achive that functionality in this version.
Thnx!

I tried the above code (without Grid and with iTextSharp 5+) version with some modifications. Strangely, there is no error but the PDF that is rendered is BLANK.
Does the parser.parse(reader) call automatically adds parsed HTML to PDF?
If yes, then it is not happening in my case.
Any ideas?
