Why use Mergevanta to convert Excel to PDF

Looks like Excel's printout

Number formats, fonts, fills, borders, merged cells, column widths and row heights carry over, and pages follow Excel's own order.

No more cut-off columns

Fit to page width keeps every column on the page; long sheets simply continue on the next pages.

Respects your print setup

Print areas, repeated title rows, page breaks, headers and footers saved in the file are used, and hidden rows and sheets stay hidden.

Private by design

Files are encrypted end to end and converted in memory, or converted in your browser when they're large. Nothing is stored.

FAQ

Excel to PDF questions

Files up to 4 MB are sent to Mergevanta's server encrypted end to end, converted in memory and deleted right away. Larger files are converted in your browser, which keeps values, number formats, column widths, merged cells and fills but simplifies fonts and borders.

Yes. The PDF shows each formula's last calculated result — the value Excel displays. Files written by programs that never calculate formulas can have blank results; open them in Excel, save, and convert again.

Choose Fit to page width. All columns are scaled to fit across the page, and Auto orientation turns the page to landscape when that makes the text larger.

Pictures placed on the sheet are included. Charts, shapes and text boxes aren't drawn yet, and the result tells you when something was left out.

A workbook that needs a password to open can't be read. Remove the password in Excel (File → Info → Protect Workbook), save, and convert it again. Sheets that are only protected from editing convert normally.

Yes. Excel 97–2003 .xls files are read directly, and CSV or TSV files become a neatly sized table with gridlines turned on.
