Can I convert XLSX and XLS files?
Yes. Excel to PDF conversion is meant for spreadsheet files such as .xlsx and .xls, with output as a fixed PDF document.
Why are columns cut off?
The sheet is usually wider than the selected page size or orientation. Adjust column widths, use landscape orientation, define a print area, or reduce scaling carefully.
Will formulas still work in the PDF?
No. A PDF shows the visible formula results at conversion time. It does not preserve live spreadsheet formulas or editable cells.
Can multiple sheets be converted?
Yes, but review which sheets are visible and relevant. Extra sheets, hidden data, and unused ranges can add unwanted pages.
How do I keep formatting?
Read the Excel to PDF formatting guide, then convert with Excel to PDF.
