Excel to PDF Converter
-
Version
0.8.0
Excel to PDF converter is a free and open source
application that enables you to create PDF documents
from your Excel workbooks. Excel to PDF Converter also
allows you to easily embed a creative commons license
in your PDF file.
Excel to PDF Converter is easy to use. Just click the
button to save your PDF.
The program is free! It does not cost anything to use
(free as in beer), and is also open-source, licensed
under the GPL (free as in speech).
Most free PDF conversion utilities lose your
hyperlinks during the conversion. After conversion,
you end up with blue underlined text, but it is not
clickable.
Excel to PDF Converter preserves your links and keeps
them working in the resulting PDF file. Whether they
point to a web page, or internal links to a target
cell in the sheet.
Excel to PDF Converter gives you the option of
embedding a Creative Commons license in your PDF.
Publishing your PDF under a Creative Commons license
allows colleagues, bloggers, social media sites and
even newspapers to republish your work and create new
content based on it as long as they clearly state that
you are the creator.
This way, your work gets spread around much faster and
you retain the credit for it.
You can learn more about the Creative Commons at
www.creativecommons.org
Excel to PDF Converter is compatible with Microsoft
Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7, as well as
Microsoft Excel 2000, XP, 2003 and Excel 2007
