Convert XLS documents to PDF while retaining supported page layout and content.

Key Characteristics

Fixed PDF Output

Create a PDF copy of the legacy Excel workbook document for viewing and sharing.

Layout Retained Where Supported

Imported print areas, page styles, orientation, scaling and sheet order remain workbook-controlled where supported.

Easy to Share

PDF is broadly viewable without requiring the source editing application.

About This Operation

What to Expect

PDF makes an older XLS workbook easier to review when the recipient does not need to edit the spreadsheet.

Imported paper size, orientation, margins, print ranges, page breaks, repeated rows or columns, scale settings and sheet order are retained where supported rather than forcing one-page output.

Supported input

Accepts bounded legacy Excel compound files without macros, workbook encryption, unsafe external references or active embedded content.

Output

Produces one validated PDF for each successfully processed document.
