Excel to PDF — online tool, included with Pro
Convert an Excel workbook (.xls or .xlsx) into a PDF that prints and shares cleanly — a quote, a budget, a schedule or a data appendix that recipients should read but not edit. Sheets are laid out using the workbook's own print settings, so page breaks, repeated header rows, gridlines and print areas come through as you set them in Excel. This conversion runs on our servers, so it needs a signed-in account with an active plan; your file is processed once, and the converted file is kept for up to an hour so you can download it, then deleted automatically.
Excel to PDF runs on our secure servers and is included with a CraftMyDocs Pro plan. Uploaded files are deleted automatically after processing.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my wide sheet split across several pages?
The converter follows the workbook's page setup. In Excel, open Page Layout → Scale to Fit and set Width to 1 page, or switch the sheet to landscape, then save and convert again. Setting a print area also prevents empty columns being included.
Are hidden sheets or hidden rows included?
No. Hidden sheets, rows and columns are excluded, exactly as when you print from Excel. Unhide anything you want in the PDF before uploading.
Do formulas convert?
The PDF shows the calculated values, as printing does. Formulas themselves are not visible in a PDF; keep the workbook if recipients need to see how figures were derived.
Can I convert a Google Sheets file?
Download it from Sheets as Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) first, then upload here. Sheets' own PDF export is also fine for a single sheet; this tool is most useful for multi-sheet workbooks with specific print settings.
