Excel to PDF
Upload an Excel workbook and download a PDF version, ready to print or share.
Overview
This tool converts an Excel workbook to PDF using a real office-suite conversion engine (LibreOffice, running headless), applying each sheet's own print area and page setup the same way Excel's own "Save as PDF" would.
Both current .xlsx files and older .xls files are accepted — the legacy binary format many pre-2007 spreadsheets still use.
Examples
Sharing a spreadsheet as a fixed, printable document
invoice.xlsx
converted-invoice.pdf (fixed layout, opens identically everywhere)
How It Works
- Choose a .xls or .xlsx file from your device.
- Click Convert. The file is uploaded and converted to PDF server-side.
- Click Download to save the PDF.
Use Cases
Emailing an invoice or report that shouldn't be edited
Convert a finished spreadsheet to PDF so numbers can't be accidentally changed and it looks the same for every recipient.
Printing a large workbook cleanly
Get a PDF that respects each sheet's existing print area and page breaks, rather than fighting with a printer dialog.
Tips
- If a sheet has no print area set, LibreOffice's default page layout is used — set a print area in Excel first for full control over what appears on each PDF page.
- Very wide sheets may span multiple PDF pages — check the result before sharing.
