Why contractors convert Excel to PDF

A contractor merges a bid, permit and change order into one project file, signs a document from their phone on site, and compresses a photo-heavy progress report to email the client.

Built for bids. Whether it's bids, permits, change orders, Arthize's excel to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Bids and client contracts are commercially sensitive; a private workspace keeps them secure.

What matters when you convert Excel to PDF

Converting to PDF locks the spreadsheet's print layout.

Recipients can read it without Excel installed.

Print areas and page breaks are respected in the output.
