how to hide the border of table in itext shrp pdf in asp.net MVC vs12?

i am trying to build a pdf, in which i have to add a table without border and i am doing like this, but is there any better way to do this? my code is like this:

 PdfPTable row1 = new PdfPTable(4);
                row1.TotalWidth = 350f;
                row1.LockedWidth = true;
                int[] intTblWidth1 = { 20,50,20,40 };
                row1.SetWidths(intTblWidth1);
                row1.SpacingBefore = 20f;
                row1.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
                PdfPCell cel = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Ordered By: ", bodyFont));
                cel.Colspan = 1;
                cel.Border = 0;
                cel.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
                row1.AddCell(cel);
                PdfPCell cel1 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(_requester, titleFont));
                cel1.Border = 0;
                cel1.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
                cel1.VerticalAlignment = 0;
                row1.AddCell(cel1);
                PdfPCell cel2 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Order #: ", bodyFont));
                cel2.Colspan = 1;
                cel2.Border = 0;
                cel2.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
                row1.AddCell(cel2);
                PdfPCell cel3 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(_orderNumber, titleFont));
                cel3.Colspan = 1;
                cel3.Border = 0;
                cel3.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
                row1.AddCell(cel3);

Try doing this:

table.DefaultCell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;

or you should try this for each cell

cellxxx.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;

The Border Elements of the PdfPTable are defined by the PdfPCell which are added to the table. Each Cell will have its own style/formatting. Here is the API: http://api.itextpdf.com/
