How are wide spreadsheets handled in PDF?

Wide sheets are automatically paginated across multiple PDF pages to ensure all columns are visible. The layout matches what you would see when printing from a spreadsheet application. Processing runs locally.

What spreadsheet formats can I convert to PDF?

SnapOtter supports XLSX, ODS, and CSV files as input. The output is a standard PDF file suitable for sharing and printing. Everything is processed on your own server.

Will cell formatting and colors be preserved?

Yes. Cell colors, borders, fonts, bold and italic styles, and number formatting are all preserved in the PDF output. Your spreadsheets are processed locally and never uploaded externally.
