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 change a percentage

  • • Numbers in cells keep their right alignment as you edit. Formulas are not kept in a PDF, so totals must be updated by hand.
  • • Amounts in Microsoft Excel PDFs are right aligned, so a longer value grows to the left and the column stays straight.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Numbers inside chart labels can be edited; the chart's bars and lines are drawings and do not change.
  • • The percent sign keeps the same font as the digits.

Questions people ask

+Can I change a chart?

Only its text labels. Bars and lines are drawn shapes.

+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.
