How to convert an Excel spreadsheet to PDF
Summaries, price lists, schedules and reports from Excel often have to be sent to someone who should not change anything. A PDF locks the spreadsheet in a readable, fixed form. The converter supports XLSX, XLS, ODS and CSV files.
- Add the spreadsheet
Drop an Excel, OpenOffice/LibreOffice (ODS) or CSV file in the box above.
- Convert
Every non-empty sheet goes on its own pages, with the sheet name above the table.
- Download the PDF
Wide tables are saved in landscape automatically.
What the result looks like
- each sheet starts on a new page
- numbers and dates are right-aligned
- long tables are split across A4 pages
Good to know
We carry over the data and table layout, but not charts, images or conditional formatting. If the sheet has a print area and page headers set up, exporting to PDF in Excel itself gives a more exact result.
Frequently asked questions
Do you convert all sheets in the file?
Yes, every non-empty sheet goes into the PDF.
Do you support CSV files?
Yes, including files saved in older Windows encodings.
Will charts be carried over too?
No, we carry over table data. Save a chart from Excel as an image and add it as a separate file.
