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 year
- • 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
- • Repeated headers and footers are separate text on each page, so edit each page's copy.
- • Tabular digits keep columns of years lined up.
Questions people ask
+Is there a find and replace?
Not yet. Edit each occurrence; each keeps its own layout exactly.
+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.
