What is kept

  • Charts and images
  • Every sheet of the workbook, one after another

Good to know

  • A table wider than the page is split across several pages, unless the workbook is set to fit on one page

Tips

  • In Excel, set the print area and “Fit to 1 page wide” before converting
  • A rare font that is not installed is replaced by a similar one
