How Microsoft Excel writes PDFs
- • Cells become positioned text with grid lines drawn around them.
- • Numbers are right aligned inside their cells.
- • Each sheet area becomes one or more pages.
What that means when you add page numbers
- • Numbers in cells keep their right alignment as you edit. Formulas are not kept in a PDF, so totals must be updated by hand.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Numbers are added on top of each page; the original content is not rewritten.
- • Every page is numbered in one step.
Questions people ask
+Does numbering change my pages?
No. The numbers are an added layer; the page content underneath is untouched.
+Is it better to edit in Microsoft Excel?
If you have the original Microsoft Excel file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
