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 edit a link

  • • 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

  • • Web addresses, email addresses (mailto) and phone numbers (tel) are accepted.
  • • New links are shown in blue and underlined, as readers expect.

Questions people ask

+Can I remove a link but keep the text?

Yes. Select the linked text and use Remove link.

+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.
