Zotu Sheets

Convert a spreadsheet to PDF

When a table only needs to be read or printed — an invoice, a price list, a report, a timetable — PDF is the safest way to send it. This tool lays the sheet out on pages exactly as printing would and saves them as one document.

How to save a spreadsheet as PDF

  1. 1Pick the file

    XLSX, XLSM, ODS and CSV are supported. The workbook opens in your browser; no server touches it.

    Pages are numbered at the bottom, charts and pictures sit where they belong, and column widths match the sheet.

How pages are laid out

Page settings stored in the file — orientation, margins, scaling, print area, rows to repeat and manual breaks — are honored, so a workbook prepared for printing elsewhere comes out the same here.

Without settings, Letter paper with standard margins is used. A wide sheet continues across pages column-first, then row by row. To squeeze every column onto one page, open the file in the editor and choose Fit all columns on one page in the print dialog.

What ends up on the page

Values and styling

Fonts, fills, borders, number and date formats, merged cells and wrapped text.

Charts and pictures

Charts are redrawn from their data; images and shapes keep their positions.

Headers and footers

The file's own headers and footers, or a page number when there are none.

Conditional formats

Color scales, data bars and icon sets print just as they look on screen.

When to use the full print dialog

For fine control, open the file in the editor and choose File → Print. The preview lets you change margins, scale and orientation, print just a selection, and repeat header rows on every page.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The spreadsheet is read and written by your browser, on your device. It only reaches Zotu's servers if you choose to save it to your cloud from the full editor.

Do I need an account or a subscription?

No. The tool is free and needs no sign-up. An account only adds cloud storage, so your workbooks follow you between devices and save themselves.

Why is my table split across pages?

It is wider than the paper. Lower the scale or switch to landscape in the editor under Page layout → Page setup.

Can I print only part of a sheet?

Yes. Set a print area in the editor, or select a range and choose Selection in the print dialog.

Can the PDF show formulas instead of results?

Turn on Show formulas (Ctrl+`) in the editor and save the PDF from the print dialog.

Are charts included?

Yes. Charts, pictures and shapes are placed in the PDF with the cells around them.
