Convert Excel to PDF Without Leaving the Viewer

April 9, 2025
Enhance .NET applications with a PDF viewer that supports the conversion of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to PDF files for greater accessibility.

A .NET PDF viewer with Excel to PDF conversion capabilities enables developers to augment their .NET-based applications so that users can transform Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (in XLSX or XLS format) into PDF documents for viewing, sharing, or archiving. All handled within the viewer, this functionality preserves the structure, formatting, and content of the original Excel files while converting them into the widely-used PDF format. The ability to convert Excel to PDF in this manner allows for easy viewing, sharing, printing, and archiving of data without requiring end users to have Microsoft Excel installed. It also allows Excel content to be distributed with greater security and portability, while ensuring consistent rendering across different platforms, systems and devices.

Several .NET PDF viewer components allow you to convert Excel to PDF, including:

  • Telerik UI PDF for ASP.NET AJAX (part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX) enables the upload and conversion of Excel spreadsheets to PDF for consistent document presentation.
  • ImageGear for .NET by Accusoft facilitates the transformation of Excel files into PDFs, maintaining layout and formatting for professional document processing environments.
  • Syncfusion Xamarin PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) allows users to convert Excel documents to PDF format to support flexible and reliable document output.
