Make wide spreadsheet tables easier to read

Why this happens

A worksheet can be much wider than a printed page. Shrinking everything can make numbers unreadable, while wrapping can separate related columns.

What to try first

Simplify the table or split it into narrower sections before converting. Use your spreadsheet application’s print settings when exact pagination is required.

Try it on a fresh copy

1. Open an XLS or XLSX workbook with the table you want to share.
2. Convert the spreadsheet content and download the PDF.
3. Read across the widest rows. If columns wrap awkwardly, simplify the source table or use your spreadsheet app’s print-layout controls.

How to tell whether it worked

Read across the widest rows and check that labels still align with their values.
