Does it convert all worksheets?

Yes, all worksheets in the file are converted. Each sheet becomes one or more pages in PDF depending on data size.

Does it preserve charts?

Yes, charts are converted as images within PDF. They appear the same but are not interactive.

Why does formatting look different in PDF?

Ensure print settings in Excel are adjusted first: paper size, margins, and print area. PDF reflects print settings, not screen display.

Can I convert old .xls format files?

Yes, we support both formats: .xls (Excel 97-2003) and .xlsx (Excel 2007 and newer).

Does it preserve formulas?

PDF contains final values only, not formulas. This is actually a security benefit — recipients see results without accessing your formulas.

Tips & Best Practices

💡Set "Print Area" in Excel before conversion to define exactly what appears in PDF.
💡Ensure all columns are visible and not hidden — they won't appear in PDF.
💡Adjust page margins and paper size in Excel before conversion to avoid content cropping.
💡For financial reports: use "Landscape" mode for wide tables.
💡Check "Print Preview" in Excel first — this is approximately what the PDF will look like.
