Cannot Get Css To Work In Itextsharp (5.4.3) When Making Pdf

I have a problem trying to apply a css file to my pdf using the iTextSharp (5.4.3) generation library. basically the css is not being applied at all. I have the following method in

Solution 1:

iTextSharp is very poor with designs using css, images etc. Instead wkhtmltopdf is the best.

Solution 2:

Well it would appear that the CSS was correctly being applied as I tested a

td{
    border:1px solid red;
    padding:0.4em;
    margin:0;
}

to the pdf, and all the cells got bordered in red, so it would appear that the pdf overrides certain styles. Not sure why.
