Excel to PDF for tax preparers
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets tax professionals convert Excel to PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Converting Excel to PDF fixes the layout of a spreadsheet — columns, page breaks and print areas — into a shareable document.
Why tax preparers convert Excel to PDF
A tax preparer merges the return with its schedules and supporting documents into one client file, extracts figures from a PDF form into a worksheet, and password-protects the final package.
Built for tax returns. Whether it's tax returns, W-2s and 1099s, schedules, Arthize's excel to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Returns contain Social Security numbers and income data; private processing and deletion are essential.
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.
