Frequently asked questions
Will all sheets be included in the PDF?
The tool converts the active or all sheets into PDF pages. Check the output to confirm all required sheets are included.
Are charts and graphs included?
Yes. Charts and graphs embedded in your spreadsheet are rendered in the PDF output.
Will gridlines be visible in the PDF?
Gridlines are included only if they are set to print in your Excel file. Go to Page Layout, then Sheet Options in Excel to control gridline printing before converting.
Can I convert a password-protected Excel file?
Remove the Excel file password before uploading. Open it in Excel or LibreOffice, remove the protection, save, then convert.
My spreadsheet is very wide. How does it print?
Wide spreadsheets that exceed page width will either be scaled down to fit the page or split across multiple pages, depending on the print area settings in the original file.
Is the text in the PDF selectable?
Yes. Cell text is preserved as selectable, searchable text in the output PDF.
