Excel to PDF
Saved cell values from the first sheet are drawn as a table. Charts and print layout are left out.
PDF tools use pdf-lib (MIT).
About this tool
Excel to PDF draws saved cell values from the first sheet of an .xlsx as a table on PDF pages. Charts, print areas, freeze panes, and later sheets are left out. Older .xls is not read.
The table is capped (100 rows, 20 columns) so a giant dump cannot freeze the tab. For a full data file, CSV to JSON may be the better export than a paginated PDF of values.
The workbook zip is parsed locally; shared strings and the first sheet become a PDF table. 50 MB. Formulas contribute their last saved values, not a live recalc.
How to convert Excel to PDF

First sheet only, 100×20 cells, 50 MB. No charts. .xls not supported.
FAQ
- Does drawing the first sheet as a PDF table require an upload?
- No. Parsing is local.
- Why only the first sheet?
- A tab-friendly v1. Export that sheet alone from Excel if it is not first.
- Do formulas recompute?
- No. You get cached values stored in the xlsx.
- Merged cells and colors?
- Not a print-layout clone. Expect a plain table of text.
- Need JSON instead?
- Save CSV from Excel, then CSV to JSON.
