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 the total
- • 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
- • Totals are right aligned, so longer amounts grow to the left.
- • Double check the arithmetic; the PDF will not do it.
Questions people ask
+Does it check the maths?
No. A PDF is a printed page. Check the numbers before sending.
+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.
