About Excel to PDF

A spreadsheet sent as .xlsx opens differently on every machine — column widths shift, rows break in the wrong places, and a formula shows an error where a number should be. As a PDF the table stays exactly where you put it. Each sheet becomes its own page, with the header row repeated at the top of every page.

How it works

  1. 1Pick an .xlsx, .xls or .csv file.
  2. 2Choose landscape for wide tables, and lower the text size if there are many columns.
  3. 3Press Convert to PDF and download the result.

Questions

My table is too wide and the columns are cramped.
Turn on Landscape — it is the default for that reason — and drop the text size to 7 or 8. Column widths are worked out from the actual content, with wide columns squeezed towards their minimum so the whole table fits the page rather than running off it.
What happens to formulas?
They become their calculated results, which is what a printed table should show. The values come across formatted the way Excel displays them, so dates read as dates and currency keeps its separators instead of appearing as raw serial numbers.
Are cell colours, borders and charts kept?
No. Values, alignment and the table grid are drawn; fills, custom borders, conditional formatting, merged cells and charts are not. This produces a clean readable table rather than a facsimile of your worksheet.
Can I convert only one sheet?
Not selectively — every sheet with content is included, each starting on a new page with its name printed above it. Delete the sheets you do not want in Excel first, or split the workbook.
Does it work with .csv?
Yes. A CSV becomes a single table. Because CSV carries no formatting, everything is treated as text, and the first row is used as the header when that option is on.

This page does the work itself, in this tab. Nothing about your file — not its name, not its contents — is sent to a server. Close the tab and no copy remains.
