Excel to PDF

Q: How do I fit an Excel sheet on one page in a PDF?

Every column fits on one page width by default (Fit to page: All columns on one page width), and long sheets continue downwards. Choose Whole sheet on one page for short sheets, or As saved in the workbook to keep the workbook's own scaling and page breaks.

Q: How do I convert only some sheets?

Untick the sheets you want to leave out under Sheets to include. The workbook itself is not changed.

Q: Why is the text very small?

Fitting a large sheet onto one page shrinks it. Use All columns on one page width instead, so long sheets flow onto more pages at a readable size.

Convert Excel to PDF so a spreadsheet reads well outside Excel. Choose the sheets, fit every column across the page, turn wide sheets to landscape and repeat the header row on each page.

Open one or more XLSX, XLS, ODS or CSV files. The sheets are listed as soon as the file opens.

Layout options and limits

No more columns on page 12

All columns on one page width scales each sheet to fit across the paper while long sheets continue downwards, the way Excel's own Fit to 1 page wide does.

Only the sheets you want

Untick internal or working sheets and they are left out of the PDF. Hidden sheets never print.

Readable on every page

Repeat the first row on every page, show cell borders and row and column headings, and center the sheet.

Smart orientation

Automatic orientation turns sheets too wide for portrait to landscape and leaves the rest upright.
