Frequently Asked Questions

Is my spreadsheet data safe to convert here?

Yes. LocalDoc processes your Excel file entirely within your browser — no data is sent to any server. This is especially important for sensitive financial and business data.

Can I convert multiple Excel sheets at once?

Each Excel workbook is converted as a complete document, with multiple sheets rendered as separate pages in the PDF output.

Do chart and graph images convert to PDF?

The converter primarily handles tabular cell data. Complex embedded charts may not render. For chart-heavy spreadsheets, consider printing to PDF from Excel directly.

What is the best alternative if I need Microsoft Office?

LocalDoc is ideal for quick, private conversions on any device. For advanced formatting requirements, LibreOffice Calc offers a free desktop alternative with a built-in PDF export feature.

Does this work on mobile devices?

Yes. The converter is fully responsive and works on Android and iOS mobile browsers. Simply open the page, select your file from local storage and download the PDF.

Excel to PDF Conversion — Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Does LocalDoc support .xlsx and .xls formats?
Yes. LocalDoc uses SheetJS (xlsx.js) — the same library used by Google Sheets — to parse both .xlsx (OpenXML) and legacy .xls (BIFF8) formats. Formulas are evaluated client-side before PDF rendering.
How are merged cells handled in the PDF?
Merged cells are preserved using PDF table layout algorithms. Cell borders, background fills, and font styling (bold, italic, font size) are mapped 1:1 from Excel to PDF using jsPDF's cell renderer.
Are Excel charts and graphs included in the PDF?
Currently, charts embedded as SVG or canvas objects in xlsx files are rendered as static images at 150 DPI. Dynamic chart animations are not included in the static PDF export.
What is the maximum number of rows/columns supported?
Up to 10,000 rows × 200 columns per sheet. Worksheets beyond this limit are split across multiple PDF pages automatically with repeating headers.
