What this tool does
Create a PDF reading copy of a spreadsheet with the local Office engine. Share a workbook view that recipients can open without a spreadsheet application, while checking the resulting print layout.
- What you can open
- XLS, XLSX, ODS or CSV files supported by the local Office engine.
- What you will download
- One PDF per converted spreadsheet file.
How to use it
- Add the spreadsheet files to convert.
- Allow the Office engine to initialize on your device.
- Download the results and review sheet boundaries, clipped columns and page breaks.
Know the tradeoffs
- Workbook formulas and editing features are not interactive in the PDF output.
- Fonts, print areas and complex sheets can produce layout differences; inspect every sheet.
Questions about this tool
Will recipients be able to change spreadsheet formulas?
The PDF is a reading copy, not an editable workbook.
Why should I check page breaks?
Spreadsheet data can be wider than the intended paper size and may be split across pages.
