Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support multiple sheets? ▼
The tool converts the active/visible sheet. For multi-sheet workbooks, each sheet may need to be converted separately.
Will cell colours and styles be preserved? ▼
Basic table structure and data values are preserved. Complex cell formatting, charts, and conditional formatting may not carry over fully.
What about formulas? ▼
Formulas are not exported — only their computed values appear in the PDF.
Under the Hood: SheetJS and jsPDF
Conversion uses SheetJS to parse .xlsx, .xls, and .csv — extracting cells, structure, and formatting — then jsPDF to render the data as a paginated PDF. A live preview confirms layout before download. Simple tables convert reliably; pivot tables, charts, and conditional formatting may not transfer perfectly (for those, Excel's native "Print to PDF" is better). All processing happens in your browser — financial data never leaves your device.
CSV exports from databases, analytics tools, and web apps convert just as cleanly as full Excel workbooks. If your spreadsheet has multiple sheets, process each sheet individually. After conversion, use Compress PDF if the output needs to be emailed within attachment size limits.
