Learn about this tool

What is convert Excel to PDF?

The Excel to PDF conversion tool accepts an XLS or XLSX file up to 256 MB and uses the spreadsheet's print settings. Print area, paper size, page orientation, margins, and scaling will determine how the sheet is paginated. You can use the result to check the print layout before sending the data.

Formulas take the values saved in the file. Changes currently open on your computer but not yet saved will not be counted. Hidden columns, hidden rows, comments, and objects outside the print area may not appear. You should view Print Preview in Excel before uploading the file.

When should you use it?

Send the data report

Print the payroll or statement table

Check page breaks on the PDF before printing in bulk from Excel.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Excel to PDF

Why is the table split across multiple pages?

PDF adheres to the print area, paper size, and scale. A table wider than the print area will split across pages. Reduce it to fit the page or switch to landscape orientation in Excel and then convert it.

Should all sheets be included in the PDF?

It depends on how the file is printed. If only the selected sheet is exported, set to print the entire workbook in Excel or export each sheet individually and then merge the PDFs.

Will formulas be preserved for editing in the PDF?

No. PDF contains the calculated values and print layout, not the live spreadsheet.

How long are files stored?

Access expires after one hour and cleanup runs every five minutes. Download any results you need before they expire.
