I am trying to adjust the table to the \textwidth but it changes the size of the font and becomes too big. Is there any way to fix the width of the table to the margins (1\textwidth) without changing automatically the fontsize? Using \tiny seems not to work. Thank you very much any help is appreciate it

\begin{table}[!htb]

\centering
\begin{adjustbox}{width=1\textwidth}    
    \tiny           
    \begin{tabular}{|c|ccc|}            
        \hline
        \cellcolor{azultabla}{\textbf{\tiny{Range}}}& 
        \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\cellcolor{azultabla}{\textbf{\tiny{Return }}}}                                                                 
        \\ 
        \hline
        & 
        \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\tiny{Spec.}}& 
        \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\tiny{Meas.}}& 
        \tiny{Pass / Fail}        
        \\ 
        \hline
        \tiny{RF}& 
        \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\tiny{\textgreater 10}}& 
        \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\tiny{xxxx}}& 
        \tiny{xxxx}                    
        \\ 
        \hline
        \tiny{IF}& 
        \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\tiny{\textgreater 10.9}}& 
        \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\tiny{xxxx}}& 
        \tiny{xxxx}                    
        \\ 
        \hline
    \end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}

\end{table}

  • Not quite understood. Are you trying to create a table that is as wide as the text, but the current one is too small and thus adjustbox scales it up?

    never use adjustbox or resizebox on tables it forces inconsistent fonts as you show

    It is hard to understand your code as you did not provide a full minimal example so others cannot just copy and test your code.

    \tiny does not take an argument use \tiny abc not \tiny{ABC}

    Perhaps you should have a look at the tabularx package instead

Never scale tables it just produces inconsistent font sizes. If you do want small text the syntax is \tiny xxx not \tiny{xxx} it does not take an argument.

You can specify a full width table in various ways, I use tabularx here, although the unstretched table is easier to read. I also removed the \multicolumn{1} as they were not doing anything.
