Why is my table split across pages?

Turn on “Fit each sheet to one page wide”, or set a print area and scaling in Excel before converting — those settings are used.

Are hidden sheets included?

No. Hidden sheets and hidden rows or columns are excluded, as in Excel’s own print.

No, only the calculated values. Formulas remain private.

Why convert Excel (XLSX) to PDF

Spreadsheets shared as XLSX invite edits and reveal formulas and hidden sheets. A PDF shows only what you intend — the print area, the visible sheets, the values.

The workbook’s page setup (orientation, fit-to-width, repeat header rows, print area) is honoured, so a wide table is not chopped into confusing fragments. Charts are rendered as vector graphics.

About the formats

Excel (XLSX) · Microsoft Excel workbook · .xlsx

The current Excel format: multiple sheets, formulas, formatting, charts and pivot tables in one file.

XLSX stores both the formula and its last computed value, so a converted CSV contains the values.
Maximum 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per sheet.
XLSM is the same format with macros enabled.

Excel 97–2003 (XLS) · Legacy Microsoft Excel workbook · .xls

The binary Excel format used until 2007, limited to 65,536 rows and increasingly refused by web apps.

XLS supports 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet — larger data is silently cut off.
Many banks and legacy systems still export XLS.
Excel opens XLS in Compatibility Mode and recommends saving as XLSX.

ODS · OpenDocument spreadsheet · .ods

The LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet format, an open ISO standard that Excel and Google Sheets can also open.

ODS supports formulas, multiple sheets and charts like XLSX.
Some Excel-specific functions and pivot features do not round-trip through ODS.
ODS files are ZIP archives of XML, like ODT.

PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
