How to Export Excel to PDF

Unlike Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, Excel does not have the plain interface and any entry can be added in the small blocks present in sheet. After compilation of an Excel sheet, it can also be exported as a PDF file to preserve the formatting and data present in an Excel sheet. Once the file is exported to the PDF file, no one will be able to play with the numbers present in the Excel sheet and the final charts or graphs will not be affected at all. Although Microsoft Excel provides an option to export Excel to PDF format, it does not provide the promising results. This is the reason you will need third party tools to change Excel to PDF file.
