Why convert Excel to PDF
A spreadsheet can look different depending on the viewer, fonts, or screen size. A PDF is a fixed layout that stays consistent when you email it, upload it to a portal, or print it.
- Invoices and quotes that should not be edited
- Budgets and reports for clients or coworkers
- Schedules and timesheets that need clean printing
- Archives where you want a stable final copy
Tips for a cleaner PDF
If your sheet is wide, PDFs can end up with tiny text or cut off columns. These quick tweaks help a lot.
- Set a print area in Excel so only the important section exports
- Use page breaks to control where each page starts
- Reduce empty columns and extra blank rows
- Use a readable font size before exporting
- If columns are cut off, try changing page orientation in your spreadsheet before upload
Common questions
Do formulas still work in the PDF
No. The PDF shows the final values and layout. It is meant for viewing, printing, and sharing, not editing.
Can I pick which sheets are included
For best control, prepare your spreadsheet before upload. Hide sheets you do not want included and set a print area for the section you want exported.
Are my files stored permanently
No. Files are kept only long enough to complete the conversion and provide a download, then deleted after a short period. See the Privacy Policy for details.
