Managing Table Headers in IronPDF

Updated:June 22, 2025

When dealing with HTML tables that extend across multiple pages in a PDF, it's important to ensure that the table headers repeat at the top of each new page. IronPDF's CssMediaType.Print option facilitates this behavior.

// Set the CSS media type to 'Print' to ensure table headers repeat on every new page
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Print;

// Set the CSS media type to 'Print' to ensure table headers repeat on every new page
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Print;

' Set the CSS media type to 'Print' to ensure table headers repeat on every new page
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Print

By contrast, using CssMediaType.Screen will result in Chrome printing the table headers only once, at the very start of the table.

// Set the CSS media type to 'Screen' if you want the headers printed only once at the start of the table
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Screen;

// Set the CSS media type to 'Screen' if you want the headers printed only once at the start of the table
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Screen;

' Set the CSS media type to 'Screen' if you want the headers printed only once at the start of the table
Renderer.RenderingOptions.CssMediaType = IronPdf.Rendering.PdfCssMediaType.Screen
