Frequently asked questions
Does the XLSX/XLS output contain real PDF text?
Yes. The high-fidelity engine renders document structure to PDF rather than screenshotting the worksheet.
Are charts and print settings supported?
The primary XLSX/XLS engine supports spreadsheet grids, styles, charts and the Excel print model, although uncommon workbook features can still be reported as conversion losses.
What happens with CSV, XLSM or XLSB?
Those formats use Toolardo’s existing local compatibility renderer. XLSX or XLS is recommended when layout fidelity matters most.
Is my workbook uploaded?
