Exporting to PDF¶
Smart CSV Editor can turn the sheet into a clean, paginated PDF — ready to print, AirDrop, email, or save to Files.
Sharing PDFs is a Pro feature
Anyone can open the exporter and preview the PDF. Sharing or saving the file requires Smart CSV Editor Pro — the Share button shows a small lock for free users and offers the upgrade.
Making a PDF¶
- Tap the Export PDF button in the toolbar. Select a range of cells first if you only want part of the sheet.
- The Export PDF screen opens with a live preview of the actual pages — scroll through them, pinch to zoom.
- Adjust the options until it looks right, then tap Share to print, AirDrop, email, or save it.
The export matches what's on screen: sorting and filters are applied, and hidden columns stay hidden. Formatted columns print formatted — currency and number formats, percentages, check marks for checkboxes, stars for ratings.
Options¶
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Export | Shown when a range of cells was selected: choose Selected Cells (pre-chosen) or Entire Sheet. A selection below the header row automatically brings the header labels along, like charts do. |
| Size | A4, US Letter, US Legal, or A3. Defaults to the usual paper for your region. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape. Landscape fits more columns per page. |
| Fit All Columns on One Page | Scales the whole table down (like Excel's scale to fit) so every column lands within the page width. Turn it off to keep full size — extra columns then continue on their own pages, down first, then across. |
| Header Row on Every Page | Repeats the header row at the top of each page so long tables stay readable. Shown only when the file has a header row. |
| Show Row Numbers | Adds a row-number gutter: data rows count 1, 2, 3, … in export order. The header row carries no number. |
Each page carries the file name and a Page X of Y footer.
Very large sheets
A PDF export includes up to the first 10,000 visible rows (roughly 250 A4 pages). If your sheet is bigger, filter it down to the rows you need first — the export follows your filters.
