About this tool

Updated

Your spreadsheet as a printable table

The first row becomes a header that repeats at the top of every page, and the remaining rows are drawn as a table that flows across as many pages as it needs.

Column widths are shared evenly across the page and the number of rows per page is worked out from the page height, so a long file paginates on its own. A repeating header is the detail that makes a multi-page table usable on paper: without it, page four is a grid of numbers with nothing to say what the columns mean.

Why convert instead of printing the spreadsheet

A PDF looks the same everywhere, and a CSV does not — it opens differently in every program.

A CSV carries no formatting at all, so whoever opens it sees whatever their spreadsheet decides, including its own ideas about dates, leading zeros and number formats. Sending a PDF instead fixes what the recipient sees. It is also the sensible format for attaching a data extract to a report, or for keeping a record of what the numbers were on a given day.

One limitation to check before you convert

Fields are separated at every comma, so a comma inside a value will split that value into two columns.

A cell such as "Lahore, Punjab" is stored in quotes precisely so a reader knows the comma belongs to the text, and this converter does not honour that. The row will come out with an extra column and everything after it shifted along. Before converting, scan for values containing commas — addresses, descriptions and full names are the usual culprits — and either replace the commas or use a semicolon-separated export instead.

Keep the table narrow

Every column has to share one page width, so a file with many columns produces cramped, unreadable text.

Eight or ten columns is about the practical limit before the cells become too narrow to read. There is no landscape option and no column-width control, so the fix is to cut the data down first: delete the columns you do not need, or split a wide file into two narrower exports and convert each. Long text inside a cell is the other thing to watch, since it has nowhere to wrap.

FAQ

How does the tool read my CSV?

It splits the file into lines, splits each line on commas, and strips surrounding double quotes. That is all. A comma inside a quoted cell, a line break inside a cell, or a semicolon- or tab-separated file will not be split correctly, so a .tsv file will end up in a single column.

Why is some of my cell text cut off?

Every column gets the same width, and text is clipped, not wrapped: headers to 20 characters and cell values to 25. Long descriptions or addresses will lose their tail in the PDF.

Can it handle wide tables or non-English text?

Many columns simply become narrower, so very wide tables get cramped and clipped. Text is drawn in standard Helvetica, so characters outside the basic Latin set, such as Urdu, Arabic or Chinese, are not supported and may cause an error.

Is there a preview before I convert?

No. Use the download to check the result. The tool does not show a table preview.

Is my data uploaded?

No. The file is read and the PDF is generated in your browser, with no upload.
