Questions

Frequently asked

What is an XLSM file?

XLSM is an Excel workbook that can contain macros written in VBA. Apart from the macros, it works just like an XLSX.

Are macros run during conversion?

No. Macros are never run. The PDF shows the values that were in the cells when the workbook was last saved.

My numbers look out of date. Why?

The conversion uses the saved values. Open the workbook in Excel, run your macros or recalculate, save, then convert again.

Can I convert XLSX files here too?

Yes. This page also accepts .xlsx, .xls and .xltx files.

Is XLSM to PDF free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
