Ship the numbers, not the spreadsheet
Sending a raw spreadsheet hands the recipient your formulas, hidden columns, other sheets and the ability to change any of it, deliberately or by accident. When the point is to show results rather than share a working file, PDF is the right format: fixed, universal and printer-friendly.
The converter renders your sheet the way Excel would print it, with styles and number formats intact, so an invoice looks like an invoice and a price list stays aligned. CSV exports from databases and web apps get the same treatment and come out as readable tables instead of raw comma-separated text.
Common uses
- Invoices and quotes generated in Excel and sent to clients.
- Price lists published where customers cannot edit them.
- Monthly reports attached to email as fixed documents.
- Data exports converted from CSV into something presentable.
Building the document the other way around? Invoice Generator creates an invoice from a plain description, and PDF to Excel recovers data from PDFs when a partner sends tables the wrong way.
