Why is my PDF missing columns?
The columns were outside the print area, on another page, or hidden. Clear the print area in Excel, or use Excel Print Fixer and check its Column check panel.
Is the text in the PDF selectable?
In Excel’s own export, yes. In Excel Print Fixer the pages are drawn as images so Urdu and other scripts look exactly as on screen, which means the text in that PDF cannot be selected or searched.
Is there a page limit?
On a laptop or desktop a single PDF can have up to 1,000 pages, and up to 250 on a phone. For more, use the Pages box to download it in parts.
