About PDF and XLSX

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a fixed-layout format designed for consistent viewing and printing across any device — built for final distribution, not for continued editing.

XLSX (Microsoft Excel Workbook (Office Open XML)) is Excel's modern XML-based format, supporting formulas, multiple sheets, charts, and conditional formatting.

What to expect: PDF source content is extracted rather than natively re-read, so complex tables or unusual spacing occasionally shift slightly — worth a quick check after conversion.
