You can use the Office programs to save or convert your files to PDFs so that you can share them or print them using commercial printers. And you won't need any other software or add-ins.

  1. Click the File tab.

  2. Click Save As.
    To see the Save As dialog box in Excel 2013 or Excel 2016, you have to choose a location and folder.

  3. In the File Name box, enter a name for the file, if you haven't already.

  4. In the Save as type list, click PDF (*.pdf).

    • If you want the file to open in the selected format after saving, select the Open file after publishing check box.

    • If the document requires high print quality, click Standard (publishing online and printing).

    • If file size is more important than print quality, click Minimum size (publishing online).

  5. Click Options to set the page to be printed, to choose whether markup should be printed, and to select output options. For more information on the Options dialog box in Excel, see More about PDF options. Click OK when finished.
