    Make a spreadsheet printable

    Excel files rarely print well as they are: columns spill onto extra pages and gridlines disappear. GrovePDF prints every visible sheet of the workbook in order, with its formatting, number formats (dates, currencies, percentages), merged cells and pictures.

    Choosing the options

    • Fit to page width (recommended) shrinks wide sheets so every column fits across the page. Actual size keeps the original size; wide sheets continue on extra pages.
    • Orientation: Automatic chooses for you; pick Landscape yourself for very wide tables.
    • Gridlines: show them for data tables, hide them for invoices and reports that have their own borders.

    Common surprises

    • ### in a cell means the number doesn't fit its column, as in Excel. Widen the column, or choose Actual size.
    • Formulas show old or no results: the PDF shows the results saved in the file. A file made by another program and never opened in Excel may have none saved; open and save it in Excel first.
    • A sheet is missing: hidden sheets and chart sheets are skipped.

    Need the opposite? PDF to Excel turns tables in a PDF back into a spreadsheet. For a plain list of rows, CSV to PDF is even quicker.

    Excel to PDF: questions and answers

    My sheet is too wide for the page.

    Keep Fit to page width selected: all columns are shrunk to fit across the page. Choose Landscape for more room.

    Are formulas calculated?

    The PDF shows the results saved in the file. A file that was never opened in Excel (for example, one made by another program) may have no saved results.

    Why do I see ### in a cell?

    As in Excel, a number that doesn't fit its column shows as ###. Widen the column in Excel, or choose Actual size.

    Which sheets are included?

    All visible sheets, in order. Hidden sheets and chart sheets are skipped.

    Does it work with .xls or .ods files?

    It reads .xlsx files. Save older .xls or LibreOffice .ods files as .xlsx first.

    Is my workbook uploaded?

    No. It's converted in your browser, so salaries, prices and other figures never leave your device.
