What Excel to PDF does
Renders a spreadsheet's first sheet as a clean, paginated PDF table. Converting a spreadsheet to PDF is useful for sharing data in a format that displays consistently and can't be easily edited or recalculated by the recipient. The first sheet in the workbook is rendered as a clean, paginated table of its text values — other sheets, and visual formatting like cell colors or borders, are not included in the output.
