FOP doesn't support "auto" size tables. You have to use fixed width. For 
example:

<table>
   <colgroup span="3">
     <col width="20mm"/>
     <col width="20mm"/>
     <col width="60mm"/>
   </colgroup>
   <tr>
     <td>a</td>
     <td>b</td>
     <td>c</td>
   </tr>
</table>

So every table in your html (or pdf) page must have fixed width. It 
looks like a problem now, but in future you'll see that it isn't as bad 
as it was at the beginning :)
And, of course, you have to use other style on your table:
table {
   width: 100%;
   table-layout: fixed;
}
And I preffer mm as unit, because Browsers (like IE) visualise pixel 
units in different style that Adobe Reader. Milimeters looks similar.
