Convert Spreadsheets to PDF API

What it does

Spreadsheet to PDF converts spreadsheet files into PDF output. Send an .xls, .xlsx, or .ods file, a remote spreadsheet URL, or base64-encoded spreadsheet bytes, and get back either a PDF download or a signed PDF link.

Use Spreadsheet to PDF when you need to share a workbook as a fixed-layout document, archive a spreadsheet for review, or generate a printable version for clients and internal workflows. The download endpoints return the PDF as binary content, while the link endpoints return a URI in a data field for deferred retrieval.

You can also set landscape on the download endpoints to render the PDF in landscape orientation when the spreadsheet is wide. For file uploads, the service accepts the spreadsheet in the request body as file; for remote sources, send url; for encoded content, send base64.

Choose the upload, URL, or base64 path that matches your pipeline, then consume the PDF in the format your application needs.
