You have an XLSX file. You need it as a PDF for a recipient who'll only read, not edit. Whether your report ends up handsome or a mess depends mostly on the Excel side.
Conversion in one drop
Drop your XLSX into Flint's Excel to PDF. Conversion runs server-side, the PDF downloads in seconds. Charts preserved, tables intact, page setup respected.
No install, no signup, no watermark.
Set page layout in Excel first
Five-minute prep in Excel saves an ugly PDF. Set orientation (portrait or landscape), check scaling (Page Layout > Scale to Fit), confirm print titles repeat headers across pages, and verify the print area covers what you want included.
Print Preview (Ctrl+P) shows the PDF before it's a PDF. If preview looks right, the PDF will look right.
Multiple sheets in one PDF
By default, all sheets in the workbook convert into a single PDF, one sheet per group of pages. If you only want specific sheets, hide the others (right-click sheet tab > Hide) before converting.
For a single-sheet PDF, the simplest path is to remove other sheets temporarily, convert, then undo (or save the multi-sheet xlsx separately).
What survives, what doesn't
Survives: values, formatting, charts (as images), tables, hyperlinks, freeze panes' effect on print layout (not the freeze itself).
Doesn't: formulas (only results shown), macros, slicers, pivot table interactivity, comments (unless Excel is set to print them — File > Print > Page Setup > Sheet > Comments and Notes).
FAQ
Will hidden sheets appear in the PDF?
No — hidden sheets are excluded by default. Use this to control which sheets get included.
What about pivot tables?
Convert as static tables — the data shown is what's in the PDF. Interactivity is lost.
How big can the XLSX be?
Generous file size limit. For very large workbooks, the conversion may take longer but doesn't usually time out.
Will macros run during conversion?
No — conversion treats the file as data, not as code. Run macros in Excel first if needed.
