using PDFMosaic;
using System.Drawing;
 
namespace Tables
{
  class Tables
  {
    static void Main()
    {
      PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument();
      document.Pages.Add(new PDFPage(PDFPaperFormat.A4));
      PDFCanvas canvas = document.Pages[0].Canvas;
 
      PDFTable table = new PDFTable();
 
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
      {
        table.Columns.Add(new PDFTableColumn((i + 1).ToString(), (i + 1).ToString()));
      }
      table.BackgroundColor = new PDFColorGray(123);
      table.Columns[0].BackgroundColor = new PDFColorGray(123);
 
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
      {
        PDFTableRow row = table.NewRow();
        for (int j = 0; j < 10; ++j)
          row[(j + 1).ToString()].Text = ((i + 1) * (j + 1)).ToString();
        row.BackgroundColor = new PDFColorGray(255);
        table.Rows.Add(row);
      }
 
      table.Rows[4][((int)(4 + 1)).ToString()].BackgroundColor = new PDFColorRGB(255, 0, 0);
      table.Columns[4].BackgroundColor = new PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0);
      table.Rows[4].BackgroundColor = new PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0);
      table.Rows[4][((int)(0 + 1)).ToString()].BackgroundColor = new PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0);
 
      canvas.DrawTable(table, 20, 20);
 
      document.Save("Tables.pdf", true);
    }
  }
}

Visial Basic.NET :

Imports PDFMosaic
Imports System.Drawing
 
Module Tables
  Sub Main()
    Dim document As New PDFDocument()
    document.Pages.Add(New PDFPage(PDFPaperFormat.A4))
    Dim canvas As PDFCanvas = document.Pages(0).Canvas
 
    Dim table As New PDFTable()
 
    For i As Integer = 0 To 10
      table.Columns.Add(New PDFTableColumn((i + 1).ToString(), (i + 1).ToString()))
    Next
 
    table.BackgroundColor = New PDFColorGray(123)
    table.Columns(0).BackgroundColor = New PDFColorGray(123)
 
    For i As Integer = 0 To 10
      Dim row As PDFTableRow = table.NewRow()
      For j As Integer = 0 To 10
        row((j + 1).ToString()).Text = ((i + 1) * (j + 1)).ToString()
      Next
      row.BackgroundColor = New PDFColorGray(255)
      table.Rows.Add(row)
    Next
 
    table.Rows(4)(5.ToString()).BackgroundColor = New PDFColorRGB(255, 0, 0)
    table.Columns(4).BackgroundColor = New PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0)
    table.Rows(4).BackgroundColor = New PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0)
    table.Rows(4)(1.ToString()).BackgroundColor = New PDFColorRGB(0, 255, 0)
 
    canvas.DrawTable(table, 20, 20)
 
    document.Save("Tables.pdf", True)
  End Sub
End Module
