Do I need Excel to use CSV to PDF?

No. You only need the .csv file, which helps on a phone or on a shared computer with no spreadsheet software.

How does CSV to PDF cope with a very wide file?

Wide files with many columns are harder to read on a printed page. Delete the columns you don't need before converting for a more readable table.

Can I convert several CSV files at once?

Yes. Add them together and press PDF. Each file is converted separately, with its own download.

What's the difference between CSV to PDF and Excel to PDF?

CSV to PDF takes plain comma-separated data and lays it out as a table. Excel to PDF keeps the formatting, colours and sheet layout of an .xlsx workbook. If your data is already formatted in Excel, use that one.

Can I get a CSV back from the PDF later?

PDF to CSV pulls tables out of a PDF again, but keep the original .csv as your working copy; it is always the cleaner source.

What kind of CSV files work best?

Ones with a single header row and one record per line, as exported by most accounting, CRM and school management systems.

CSV to PDF turns a CSV file into a neat, printable PDF table, so data exported from a system can be read, shared and filed without opening a spreadsheet. Sales exports, attendance lists, stock counts and bank transaction downloads are typical of what people run through it.

How to convert CSV to PDF

Drop your .csv file on the page, or choose it from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive (up to 260 MB). Press PDF in the Convert to list, then download the table as a PDF named after the original file. You can add several CSV files at once and each one becomes its own PDF, which suits a folder of monthly exports. Rename the result, share it on WhatsApp, or pass it to Merge PDF with Continue with this file.

Why share CSV data as a PDF

A CSV opened in Excel on someone else's machine can look very different from what you intended: leading zeros vanish from account codes, dates flip between day-first and month-first, and long text columns squash together. A PDF table fixes what you send. It also suits people without a spreadsheet app, like a client reading on a phone, or a board member who prints the papers.

Getting a tidy CSV to PDF table

Clean the data before converting. Remove columns the reader doesn't need, since a wide file with twenty columns makes for small print on a page. Check the header row is there, because that is what tells the reader what each column holds. If the PDF has to travel with other documents, such as a covering letter, Merge PDF will combine them into one file.
