Excel 2013: Save a Worksheet or Even Just a
Range of Cells as a PDF
Document
Excel has a really awesome feature that allows you to save your workbook to a PDF document.
This does not
affect the original workbook. It just saves a copy of the workbook in PDF format.
Sharing an Excel spreadsheet as a PDF document has its advantages. The two main ones are:
The receiver doesn't need to know how to use Excel or have it installed and very likely does have
software that can open PDF documents.
If the end user doesn't need to edit the spreadsheet, sending it in PDF format prevents accidental
changes.
One of my favorite things about saving Excel spreadsheets as PDFs is that, I think the PDF often
looks better than the original document.
When saving a spreadsheet as a PDF, Excel provides you with options to save the entire
workbook, specific sheets or just a selection.
