Convert Excel to PDF Online Free

Excel to PDF conversion sounds straightforward until you actually try it. Your carefully formatted spreadsheet becomes a mess of cut-off columns, tiny text, and awkward page breaks. The problem is that Excel is designed for scrolling, not pages. A sheet can be infinitely wide and tall. PDFs have fixed page dimensions. Forcing one format into the other requires decisions about what fits where. Our converter handles this intelligently. It analyzes your Excel layout and tries to fit content sensibly onto pages. Wide sheets can be split across multiple pages or scaled down to fit on one page (though that might make text small). You control whether each worksheet becomes a separate PDF or everything goes into one file. Page orientation matters too - portrait for narrow sheets, landscape for wide ones. One thing that trips people up: Excel's print area settings. If you've set a print area in Excel, the PDF will only include that range. If you haven't set one, the PDF includes all cells with content, which might include hidden test data or notes you didn't intend to include. Check what's actually in your sheet before converting. The PDF preserves formatting - colors, fonts, borders, cell fills. Charts and images convert as graphics. Formulas show their results, not the formula text (which makes sense - PDF viewers can't calculate formulas). If you have multiple sheets, you can choose which ones to include in the PDF.
