Frequently asked questions
Can I export only one sheet instead of all sheets?
Yes. In Excel or LibreOffice's export dialog choose 'Selected sheets'; in Google Sheets set 'Current sheet' in the download options.
Why are some columns missing in the 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'; LibreOffice offers the same option under Format > Page Style > Sheet.
Will charts and conditional formatting appear in the PDF?
Yes, they render visually, but are flattened to a static image - recipients cannot interact with pivot tables or charts.
Is the resulting PDF searchable?
Yes - Excel, LibreOffice, and Google Sheets all produce text-based PDFs with selectable and searchable text by default.
