Spreadsheet to PDF without a desktop Excel install
Browser-only “converters” often screenshot a sheet or send the file to a reseller API. This hub uses Gotenberg wrapping LibreOffice on infrastructure we control. That is why charts, borders, and print areas behave more like Excel’s own Save as PDF — and why print area mistakes in the workbook still show up in the output. Set page breaks in Excel first if pagination must match a board pack.
Orientation is the wide-table fix
Portrait is the default mental model and the reason columns vanish. Switch to landscape for 15-column models, payroll registers, and inventory lists. LibreOffice still respects row heights and cell fills; it cannot invent a page that is infinitely wide. If a sheet is still wrapping, shrink print area or hide unused columns in the original.
What we process, and what we do not
XLSX, XLS, and CSV. Macros do not run. This is not OCR — there is no camera-roll path. Encrypted workbooks need to be openable before upload. We do not keep the spreadsheet after conversion. Privacy here is HTTPS plus immediate deletion, not Instant on-device encoding (that model is for PDF page tools like Organize).
Free vs Pro
One ordinary workbook, no account. Folder queues and 100 MB+ models use Premium workers so a phone tab is not parsing a financial model in memory. After export, Compress PDF if mail still rejects the attachment, or Merge if you combined several PDFs by hand.
