Short, direct answers to the specific ways Excel→PDF goes wrong — each with the fix by hand in Excel, and how CrazySmartPDF handles it.
Excel has no built-in folder converter. Use a VBA or PowerShell loop, or a desktop app that renders every .xlsx and .xlsm in a folder to PDF in one pass with a self-check.
Excel won't warn you about blank or clipped pages — you have to check the PDF yourself. Or use a self-audit that rasterises every page and flags near-blank and right-edge-clipped pages.
Excel cuts off columns because it prints at a fixed width that spills past the page edge. Rotate to landscape and fit the width — or use a renderer that measures every column, slices wide tables across pages rather than clipping, and flags any residual clip.
A set print area tells Excel to print only that block, so data outside it silently vanishes. Clear or widen the print area — or use a tool that honors it but reports exactly what it dropped.
Group all the sheet tabs before exporting to get each sheet on its own page in one PDF — or use a tool that renders each sheet as its own section, in the order and layout you choose.
Text shrinks because "Fit Sheet on One Page" scales the whole sheet down. Turn scaling off and let it paginate — or use a tool that re-lays-out at a readable size instead of shrinking.
Excel breaks pages by height, so tall rows split across pages. Insert manual page breaks, or use a renderer that treats every row as atomic so a row never breaks across a page.
Because "Save as PDF" is a print, not a layout: cut-off columns, split rows, shrunk text, data outside the print area, and blank pages all carry straight through. Here is how to diagnose each.
