How to create a table with only vertical borders?

It is possible with iText 7 to create a table with vertical lines only?

I have a table with vertical and horizontal lines. But I do not want horizontal line. I want only vertical lines as shown in this example:

table with only vertical borders

Currently, my table code looks like this:

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(5);
table.AddCell(new Phrase("    SL.NO", font1));
table.AddCell(new Phrase("   SUBJECTS", font1));
table.AddCell(new Phrase("   MARKS", font1));
table.AddCell(new Phrase("   MAX MARK", font1));
table.AddCell(new Phrase("   CLASS AVG", font1));
Doc.Add(table);

You can change the borders of the cells so that they only show the vertical lines. If you are using iText 7 note that now we use Table instead of PdfPTable and Cell instead of PdfPCell.

You should create a Cell instance and set the border to NO_BORDER value, then chose the border type for the left side and use .setBorderLeft() method:

Cell cell = new Cell().add("SL.NO")
            .setBorder(Border.NO_BORDER)
            .setBorderLeft(new SolidBorder(1));
table.addCell(cell);

In this case, only the left border of the cell will be shown. For the last cell in the row you should also add the right border:

cell.setBorderRight(new SolidBorder(1));
