Excel to PDF

Worth knowing

• The file never leaves your computer. Every one of these tools runs inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no copy on a server, nothing to delete afterwards and no queue of other people’s documents next to yours.
• Landscape, one sheet to a page. A spreadsheet has no page size of its own — it is a grid, not a document — so one is chosen. Landscape suits the shape of nearly every sheet.
• A wide sheet is scaled, not truncated. Columns that would run off the edge are shrunk to fit the page, so you never lose the right-hand side of a table without noticing.
• Values, not formulas. What is drawn is what the cells show. Formulas, charts and pivot tables are not reproduced.

When to use it

• Sending a price list or quotation spreadsheet to a customer who does not use Excel.
• Attaching a report to an email in a format that cannot be accidentally edited.
• Printing a sheet without fighting Excel's page setup.

Questions

Will each sheet be on its own page?

Yes. Every sheet is laid out on its own landscape page.

What if my sheet is too wide for the page?

It is scaled down to fit rather than cut off, so the right-hand columns are not lost.

Are formulas and charts included?

The values the cells show are drawn. Formulas, charts and pivot tables are not reproduced.
