Will every sheet in my workbook be included?

Once connected, the backend contract supports converting all sheets or a selected range — see BACKEND-API-CONTRACT.md for the exact request options.

Why can't this run client-side like the image tools?

Faithfully reproducing print layout — page breaks, scaling, repeated header rows — needs a genuine spreadsheet rendering engine, which isn't available in a browser.

What happens if I click Convert to PDF right now?

If no backend is configured, the page tells you clearly that a backend isn't connected rather than pretending to convert your file.

Is this tool actually finished?

The upload flow, progress states, error handling and API integration are complete and production-ready; it needs a conversion backend deployed and connected via QPHP_API_BASE — see BACKEND-API-CONTRACT.md.

Requires a connected backend. Excel to PDF needs server-side processing that can't run in a browser alone. The upload flow, progress states and error handling below are fully built and ready to call our documented API — see BACKEND-API-CONTRACT.md.

About Excel to PDF

Excel to PDF turns a spreadsheet's print layout — page breaks, column widths, headers, multiple sheets — into a clean PDF that looks the same on any device. Getting print layout right (page fit, repeated headers, sheet ordering) requires a real spreadsheet engine, not just reading raw cell values.

This page is a complete, production-ready frontend that calls a documented backend API (see BACKEND-API-CONTRACT.md) to perform that rendering. Once a backend implementing that contract is connected, it works with no further frontend changes.
