Tips for a perfect export
Set print areas
Define print areas in Excel to control exactly which cells are exported.
Choose orientation and scale
Select portrait or landscape and use scaling to fit wide tables onto one page when needed.
Review page breaks
Adjust manual page breaks to avoid splitting important rows or charts across pages.
Embed fonts or use standard fonts
Embed fonts where possible, or use common fonts to prevent substitution in the PDF.
Include headers and footers
Add page numbers, dates, or labels in headers and footers before exporting.
Check chart resolution
