How to check the resulting file

Frequently asked questions

Information about layout, data, quality and conversion limits.

Can multiple sheets be converted?
The range of sheets converted depends on the file and interface options. Check that all the sheets you need are in the resulting PDF.
Why is my table split across multiple pages?
The print area, column width, paper size and scaling can cause a table to overflow the page. Adjust the Excel file before converting if needed.
Do formulas still work in the PDF?
No. The PDF shows the displayed results and does not keep formulas for further calculation.
Are charts preserved?
Charts are usually placed on the page as displayed content; check the fonts, labels and size after converting.
