Collect style putpdf - combined width option

[Ozcan Tunalilar]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create a table and embed it as part of a broader PDF document. After I create the table, I want to edit it so each column is properly sized (width) and the table itself is also not at 100% page width. Stata help file suggests that can be doable using collect style putpdf, the option width ("Any two of the types of width specifications can be combined."). Below is an example - any help is appreciated.

clear all
set more off

sysuse auto.dta

putpdf begin
putpdf paragraph, font("Arial")

table foreign rep78, statistic(freq) statistic(sumw) statistic(percent, across(foreign)) sformat("%s%%" percent) nformat(%9.0f) totals(foreign)
mat w  = (40, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10)
collect style putpdf, halign(left) width(80%) width(w)
putpdf collect

putpdf save test, replace

Edit:
I'm using Stata/SE 17.0 for Windows (64-bit x86-64)

In case anybody else faces this problem in the meantime: I reached out to Stata about this, and they confirmed that this is indeed a bug that will be fixed in a future update.
