PDF Plugin Table construction was created by eyeballs
Hello Community:

Was wondering how to format tables using the PDF Report Plugin in this specific way:

The row will have 2 column that will fit 100 % of the page (We put the width as 100% in the pdf tab). However, we also want the 1st column to be 90% of the page and the second column 10%. We will have multiple rows with the same format.

here is a raw visual:
<
100%
>
<
column #1 @ 90%
><-- Column #2 --10%->
|  1) Question #1 This is the 1st column. Second column is over there >>                                        | Yes   |
___________________________________________________________________________________|
|  2) Question #2 This is the 1st column. Second column is over there >>                                        |  No   |
|

How can this be accomplished?

Thank you

Hi,
you talk about the plugin "pdfReport", right?
[url] gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/pdfReport [/url]

All you have to do, is to create a HTML table in the question text of this question (type: upload)
Like:
Code:
<table border="1" collapse="collapse" width="100%">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th colspan="3">F1. Welche der folgenden interessanten Ubuntu-Tiere kennen Sie?</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th  style="text-align:left;width:90%"> </th>
            <th  style="text-align:center;width:5%" valign="middle">Ja</th>
            <th  style="text-align:center;width:5%" valign="middle">Nein</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align:left;width:90%">{F1_SQ001.question}</td>
            <td style="text-align:center;width:5%">{if(F1_SQ001=="Y","X","")}</td>
            <td style="text-align:center;width:5%">{if(F1_SQ001!="Y","X","")}</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align:left" width="90%">{F1_SQ002.question}</td>
            <td style="text-align:center" width="5%">{if(F1_SQ002=="Y","X","")}</td>
            <td style="text-align:center" width="5%">{if(F1_SQ002!="Y","X","")}</td>
        </tr>
...

As you see you can insert ExpressionScript to refer to your question texts and answers.
Here a rough example of your 90%/10% array
 

Here something more.
 

By the way: 

We put the width as 100% in the pdf tab

This refers to the built-in pdf report of the responses. So it is not related to the plugin "pdfReport"
