Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the converted PDF show formulas from Excel or just results?
Shows formula calculation results (consistent with Excel "Print Preview" effect), not the formulas themselves, ensuring data readability.
2. What Excel file sizes can free users convert?
Free users support single files up to 200MB, maximum 5 files at once, unlimited daily usage; VIP users support single files up to 500MB, 20 files for batch conversion.
3. Will converted PDF tables show data misalignment?
Rarely. Standard tables align completely; tables with many merged cells or ultra-wide columns are recommended to use "Adaptive Width" mode to avoid misalignment.
4. Can I convert only one worksheet in Excel?
Yes. After uploading files, check required worksheets in conversion settings (such as "Sheet2"), only converting that sheet content, other sheets not included in PDF.
5. Can macro-enabled Excel files be converted to PDF?
Can convert, but macro commands will be removed (PDF doesn't support macros), only retaining data and format content, with notification "Macros will become ineffective" before conversion.
6. Can table data in converted PDF be edited?
Cannot edit directly. Need to use "PDF to Excel" tool to convert back to Excel format, or use "Edit PDF" tool to manually modify text content.
7. Will Excel data be stored by Micro PDF during conversion?
No. All files are only temporarily processed during conversion, automatically deleted after completion (download or 24 hours later), server doesn't store any data, ensuring information security.
