Why Convert Spreadsheets to PDF?
Excel is for calculating; PDF is for presenting. Here is why professionals convert their sheets:
Prevent Editing
When you send an Excel file, anyone can accidentally change a formula or delete a cell. A PDF is “Read-Only,” protecting your data integrity.
Perfect Printing
Excel is notorious for printing on 10 different pages. Our tool optimizes the view to ensure your columns stay together on the page.
Universal Format
Not everyone has Microsoft Office installed. A PDF can be opened on any phone, tablet, or computer without needing expensive software.
Secure Finance Data
We use high-grade 256-bit SSL encryption. Your financial reports and invoices are processed privately and deleted after 1 hour.
Excel vs. PDF Format
| Feature | Excel (.xlsx) | PDF Document |

Tips for Best Conversion Results
Excel files can be complex. Follow these tips to ensure your PDF looks perfect:
- Check Print Area: Before uploading, open your Excel file and set the “Print Area” to include only the cells you want to show. Our tool respects these settings.
- Fit to Page: If you have many columns, try setting your Excel layout to “Landscape” before saving. This helps fit wide tables onto a single PDF page.
- Hidden Sheets: Our tool converts the active sheets. If you have hidden tabs with sensitive data, they will generally not be included in the PDF, which keeps your raw data safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
