Back to Excel to PDF API
Investors panic when formulas break — here's the fix

Share financial models without breaking formulas

Every time you send an Excel model externally, you risk accidental edits, formula errors (#REF!, #VALUE!), and layout inconsistencies that destroy your credibility. Converting the Excel print area to PDF before sharing means investors and board members see exactly what you intended — locked, clean, professional. The Excel to PDF API handles the conversion with perfect fidelity.

100%

formula safety — formulas never exposed

0

#REF! errors after delivery

< 5s

per model conversion

print area + pagination respected

Why Excel → Email is a silent risk in investor reporting

Formula errors on their machine

Missing named ranges, different Excel versions, or unsupported functions create #REF! errors that undermine your numbers instantly.

Print area ignored without API

Manual "Print to PDF" doesn't consistently honor print areas. API conversion locks exactly the range you defined in Excel.

No source-of-truth artifact

When investors update numbers and send the file back, you lose track of which version they approved. PDF creates an immutable snapshot.

FAQ

Does the API respect Excel print area settings?
Yes. Defined print areas, page breaks, headers, and footers are all respected. The output looks exactly like "Print Preview" in Excel — but consistent across every run.
Can I export only specific sheets or ranges?
Yes. You can specify which sheet tabs to include in the PDF. Great for separating the "Summary" tab (investor-facing) from internal model tabs.
What if our model uses macros?
Macros aren't executed during conversion (by design — security). The PDF captures the current cell values. Run macros beforehand to calculate outputs, then convert the result.
