Frequently asked questions
Do macros run during the PDF export?
No - Excel and LibreOffice export cell values and formatting only; no VBA code is executed or included in the PDF.
Why are some columns missing from my PDF?
The sheet is wider than the selected paper size. In Excel, go to Page Layout > Scale to Fit and set Width to "1 page".
Can I include multiple sheets in one PDF?
Yes - both Excel and LibreOffice Calc let you choose which sheets to include in the export dialog.
Is the resulting PDF searchable?
Yes - text and numbers are rendered as real text in the PDF, so you can search and copy without OCR.
