When I search for the term Convert Excel File to PDF, all of these free online Excel to PDF converters pop up. You dont need them. Excel already has an inbuilt feature for that. Im going to show you how you can use it, and Im also going to give you some tips on creating perfect PDFs from your Excel files. Let me first quickly show you three different ways you can convert your Excel sheets or files into PDF. Number one method is just use the shortcut key, Ctrl + P. This is going to bring up the Print Preview options, and you might find the option Microsoft Print to PDF in this drop down right here. Then, you can decide on whether you just want to print the active sheet, so the sheet I was on before I used the shortcut key, or print the entire workbook, or just print selection. So, print selection is based on the cells that you highlighted before you came to this view. You might not want to print everything thats on that sheet. Now, notice also that here
