How it works

ODS to PDF in three steps

Upload your spreadsheet

Drag an .ods onto the panel, or click it to pick one. Your file is deleted as soon as the PDF is built.

Check the page setup

'Fit everything on one page wide' is already on, which is what stops a wide sheet being sliced across extra pages. Only the width is fitted, so the type stays readable.

Download your PDF

Every column is on the page, and only the height runs onto further pages.

Frequently asked questions about ODS to PDF

How do I convert an ODS spreadsheet to PDF?

Choose your .ods file, check the paper and margin settings, and press Create PDF. By default every column is fitted onto the page across, and rows continue onto as many pages as they need. The conversion runs on our server, so there is nothing to install.

Will my columns get cut off?

No. 'Fit everything on one page wide' is on by default, which puts every column on the page across and lets rows carry on down as many pages as they need.

Will it squash hundreds of rows onto one page?

No. Only the width is fitted. Rows carry on over as many pages as they need, so the text stays readable.

Are all the sheets converted?

Yes. Every sheet goes into the one PDF, in the order of the tabs, each starting on a new page. Hidden sheets are left out, and a sheet with a print range set prints only that range. To convert a single sheet, save a copy that contains only that sheet.

Can I choose landscape, the paper size or the margins?

Yes: A4, Letter, Legal or A3, portrait or landscape, and wide, normal, narrow or no margins. A wide sheet usually reads best in landscape, because its columns then need less shrinking to fit across the page.

Can I convert several files at once?

One at a time here. To convert many in one go, put them in a .zip and use ZIP to PDF, which can merge them into one PDF or return a separate PDF for each.

Can I convert a password-protected file?

No. A document that needs a password to open cannot be converted. Open it in LibreOffice, save a copy without the password, and convert that.

Which files can I upload?

.ods. For .xlsx or .csv, use Excel to PDF or CSV to PDF.

Is it free?

Yes. Every tool works without paying and without an account. Files can be up to 200 pages and 80 MB, and a run that fails costs you nothing.

Do I need to create an account?

No. All tools work without signing in. An account raises your hourly allowance and lets you see what you have processed.

What happens to my file?

Your file stays on our server only for a short time while it is processed, then it is deleted. It is sent over an encrypted connection. We keep a record that the tool was used, but not the file name or what is in the file.
