A spreadsheet nobody can break by accident
You've put together a quote for a bathroom repair, next month's shift roster or a list of payments for a school trip. Once someone else needs to see it, trouble starts: a stray tap changes an amount, formulas may recalculate differently on the other end, and on a phone the grid is hard to read. In a PDF the numbers stay exactly as you had them, so it is safe to send to a client, an accountant or an office.
What goes in and what comes out
Excel to PDF takes XLS, XLSX, ODS and CSV files up to 95 MB. Every worksheet is included, in the order the sheets appear in the file, and formulas are replaced by their calculated values. One file is converted at a time, and the PDF keeps its name.
Set up the sheet first
The tool has no settings of its own – it follows the page setup stored in the spreadsheet. A couple of minutes in Excel beforehand make the biggest difference:
- Switch wide sheets to Landscape.
- Turn on "Fit to 1 page wide" so columns don't spill onto another page.
- To include only part of a sheet, mark it as the print area (Page Layout → Print Area).
- For long lists, use "Print Titles" to repeat the header row on every page.
Only want one sheet out of five? Convert the whole file, then drop the extra pages with Remove pages or keep the ones you need with Extract pages.
Processing and deletion
LibreOffice converts the spreadsheet on our server. The file sits in a temporary folder only for as long as the conversion takes and is then deleted at once, along with the PDF.
