[Tex/LaTex] Resize a tabular object to textwidth

scalingtables

I have a table which its width exceed the textwidth of the document, but I want reduce its size to fit the textwidth space.

I have tried the resizebox command but it doesn't work at all.

\begin{table}[h!]
  \centering
  \resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{  
  \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  \hline
  One & Two &Three & Four & Five & Six & Seven & Eight & Nine & Ten & Eleven &
  Twelve & Thirteen & Fourteen\\

  \hline
  \hline
  $1.111$ & $2.222$ & $3.333$ & $4.444$ & $5.555$ & $6.666$ & $7.777$ &
  $8.888$ & $9.999$ & $0.000$ & $1.111$ & $2.222$ & $3.333$ & $4.444$\\
  \hline  
\end{tabular}
}
  \caption{Test Table}
  \label{tab:label_test}
\end{table}

The table keeps the same width and exceed the border of the page.
I want resize the table, scaling all the tabular object without touch the caption fontsize.

How can I do that?

If I copy the code of @HarishKumar:
Width adjustbox command

Best Answer

\resizebox should work provided you put \usepackage{graphicx}. But here is a better option with adjustbox package. With this, you can resize only if the table goes beyond \textwidth, otherwise not.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{showframe}   %% just for demo
\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[h!]
  \centering
  \begin{adjustbox}{max width=\textwidth}
  \begin{tabular}{*{14}{|c}|}%%{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  \hline
  One & Two &Three & Four & Five & Six & Seven & Eight & Nine & Ten & Eleven &
  Twelve & Thirteen & Fourteen\\
  \hline
  \hline
  $1.111$ & $2.222$ & $3.333$ & $4.444$ & $5.555$ & $6.666$ & $7.777$ &
  $8.888$ & $9.999$ & $0.000$ & $1.111$ & $2.222$ & $3.333$ & $4.444$\\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}
  \caption{Test Table}
  \label{tab:label_test}
\end{table}
\end{document}
