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 table cell

  • • Numbers in cells keep their right alignment as you edit. Formulas are not kept in a PDF, so totals must be updated by hand.
  • • Microsoft Excel tables keep their drawn borders; new or removed rows follow them.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Right aligned numbers grow to the left so columns stay lined up.
  • • Longer text wraps inside the cell and the row grows.

Questions people ask

+Can I fill an empty cell?

Yes. Click inside the empty cell and type.

+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.
