XLSX to PDF Transformation FAQ
How do I convert XLSX to PDF for sharing / printing?
+
Upload the XLSX file and the converter renders it onto PDF pages with sensible defaults: A4 / letter size, 1-inch margins, embedded fonts. Multi-page sources (DOCX, EPUB, XLSX) preserve page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each.
Will the XLSX to PDF conversion keep my fonts / formatting?
+
Yes for text-bearing XLSX (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT) — fonts are embedded into the PDF so the output looks identical on every viewer. Image-only XLSX (JPG, PNG) just centers the image on the page; layout is N/A.
Can I merge multiple XLSX files into one PDF?
+
Yes — drop multiple XLSX files into the upload zone and choose the "merge into one PDF" option. They appear as sequential pages in the PDF in upload order; drag-to-reorder is supported before conversion.
What page size and orientation will the PDF use?
+
Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or letter portrait (US). The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, letter, legal, tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image XLSX, "auto-fit" picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio.
Will hyperlinks in my XLSX survive the PDF conversion?
+
Yes for XLSX formats that have real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML, EPUB). Image-based XLSX (JPG, PNG, TIFF, etc.) have no hyperlinks to preserve. The PDF file uses the same `<a>`-style anchor model so links work in every PDF reader.
Is the PDF searchable (selectable text)?
+
Yes when the XLSX contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT, EPUB). Image-based XLSX produces an image-only PDF — to make it searchable, use /pdf-ocr/ after conversion to run optical character recognition.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this tool — convert XLSX to PDF first, then use the /pdf-* tools to add a password, watermark, or restrict editing.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends on the XLSX. A 10-page DOCX with embedded fonts produces a 200-400 KB PDF. A 10-image JPG batch at full resolution produces a 5-20 MB PDF. The advanced options expose a "compress images in PDF" toggle that recompresses embedded images at JPG quality-85.
Is my XLSX file private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — same model: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review.
Will the PDF pass print-shop preflight (300 DPI, CMYK)?
+
Defaults are RGB / 72 DPI (screen-optimized). For commercial print, switch the advanced options to CMYK / 300 DPI and the converter re-renders text at print resolution and converts embedded images to CMYK colorspace.
Does the converter work with scanned XLSX images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page XLSX (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF. If you need the PDF to be text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run OCR over the scanned pages.
Can I convert XLSX to PDF and email it directly?
+
Not from the converter UI itself. After download, attach the PDF to your usual email client. The PDF file is portable and works with every modern PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge).
