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 phone number
- • 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 next to icons stay beside their icon; the row moves as a unit if the number gets longer.
- • Plus signs and brackets are set in the same font as the digits.
Questions people ask
+Will the phone icon move?
Only if the text in front of it gets wider. Icons in a contact row move along with their text.
+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.
