Convert Excel Sheets to PDF Tables
or drop files here
Each worksheet in an .xlsx workbook becomes a titled table on landscape pages, with a new page for every sheet. The workbook is unpacked and typeset right here in the browser, which matters when it holds salaries or client details.
Every tab of the workbook, on paper.
Add the workbook
Drop an .xlsx file with as many sheets as you like. An older .xls needs one Save As to .xlsx in Excel or LibreOffice first.
Check the layout
Landscape paper, 9 pt text and a fresh page per sheet are preset for spreadsheets. Change paper, margins or text size if a sheet is especially wide.
Save the finished PDF
Each sheet is turned into a titled table and typeset into pages. Save the PDF when the page count appears.
Spreadsheets that need to stop moving.
A live workbook is perfect for working out the numbers. Once they are settled, a PDF is the easier thing to send, print and keep.
Budgets for people without Excel
Phone mail apps and borrowed laptops often mangle spreadsheet previews. A PDF of the figures reads the same on every screen and printer.
Multi-tab monthly reports
A workbook with one tab per month, branch or region becomes a single document with a titled section for each tab, every one starting on its own page.
Appendices for bids and proposals
Cost breakdowns attached to a tender should not change because someone clicked into a cell. A PDF appendix fixes the numbers you actually submitted.
Mark sheets for teachers
One sheet of marks per class prints as a clean record for a parents’ evening or the school file, without exposing the formulas behind the grades.
Contact lists and rotas
Staff directories and shift plans built as plain grids come out as tidy tables you can pin on a noticeboard or hand to a new starter.
Seeing the raw numbers
Because stored values are printed rather than formatted display, the PDF doubles as a quick check of what a polished spreadsheet really contains.
Values travel, decoration stays behind.
This converter reads what is stored in each cell, not how Excel paints it. That makes the output predictable and searchable, but it also means a sheet that relies on colour, merged banners or a carefully set print area will look plainer than it does on screen.
Five minutes of prep in a copy of the workbook pays off:
- Put a single row of column titles at the top of each sheet.
- Unmerge title banners and grouped headings.
- Delete scratch sheets and helper columns you would not print.
- Where a currency sign must print, turn that column into text with TEXT(), then paste as values.
- Wrap long decimals in ROUND(), since stored values can carry more digits than the cell showed.
Carried over
- Every sheet, hidden ones too, as a table headed by the sheet name
- Text and numbers; whole numbers print as typed (42, not 42.0)
- Formula results as Excel last saved them
- The top row as a bold header, repeated on each page a sheet spans
- Long sheets, continuing across as many pages as needed
- Dates, times and percentages, written out as you see them in Excel
Left behind
- Charts, shapes and pictures
- Cell colours, fonts and borders
- Merged-cell layouts
- Print areas, page breaks and Excel headers or footers
- Currency symbols and thousands separators
