Why does my Excel sheet get cut off when converting to PDF?

Wide spreadsheets overflow the page width. Set the print area and choose Fit All Columns on One Page (or Fit to Width) in Excel before exporting so every column lands neatly on each PDF page.

Will all worksheets be included in the PDF?

The conversion exports the workbook's printable content across every sheet. To control exactly what appears and in what order, define the print area for each sheet in Excel first.

Are my charts and coloured cells preserved?

Yes. Charts, conditional-formatting colours, borders and merged cells are rendered into the PDF just as they look on screen, so a dashboard sheet keeps its visual formatting.

Can I make heading rows repeat on every page?

Yes, if you set it in Excel. Use Print Titles to mark the header row as repeating, and it will reprint at the top of every PDF page so a long table stays readable.

Should I export landscape or portrait?

Wide tables with many columns read better in landscape, while tall narrow lists suit portrait. Set the orientation in Excel's page layout before converting so the PDF matches, and combine it with Fit to Width to keep everything on the page.

What happens to my formulas in the PDF?

Formulas are calculated and only their resulting values are shown — a PDF is not editable, so the recipient sees the numbers but cannot see or change the underlying formulas. This is often an advantage when sending figures to a client, since your calculation logic stays private.

Why convert Excel to PDF instead of sending the .xlsx?

A PDF locks the layout so the recipient sees the spreadsheet exactly as you intended, cannot accidentally change a value or formula, and does not need Excel or a compatible app to open it.
