Common Use Cases for CSV to PDF Conversion

• Business Reports: Convert sales, finance, or KPI CSV exports to shareable PDF reports.
• Client Deliverables: Provide polished tables to clients that do not need raw CSV files.
• Internal Documentation: Attach PDF tables to Confluence pages, tickets, or internal docs.
• Regulatory & Audit: Archive CSV data as PDF for compliance or auditing purposes.
• Print-Ready Tables: Generate clean tables ready for printing without manual formatting.

Page Size and Orientation Options

Choose the best layout for your CSV to PDF conversion:

• A4: Standard international paper size for most documents.
• Letter: Common in North America for business reports.
• Legal: Extra length for wide or tall tables.
• Portrait: Best for narrow tables with fewer columns.
• Landscape: Ideal for wide tables with many columns.

Best Practices for Clean PDF Tables

• Limit the number of columns to avoid overly compressed content.
• Use concise column names for better layout on smaller page sizes.
• Consider landscape orientation for wide datasets.
• Check the preview and adjust delimiter or header settings if rows look misaligned.

FAQ: CSV to PDF Converter

Can I change the table styling in the generated PDF?

The tool applies a built-in table style optimized for readability (headers, zebra rows, borders). If you need custom styling, you can copy the HTML table markup using the “Copy HTML” button and integrate it into your own HTML template or reporting system before converting it to PDF with your preferred workflow.

How do I print the table instead of downloading a PDF?

If you prefer printing directly, you can copy the table HTML and embed it in a simple web page, then use your browser’s print dialog. For example:

<html>
  <body>
    <!-- Paste the copied table HTML here -->
  </body>
</html>

Open that file in the browser, adjust print settings (margins, orientation), and print or save as PDF.

Why does my PDF cut off wide tables?

Very wide tables may not fit comfortably on portrait pages. Try switching to landscape orientation or reducing the number of columns. You can also hide less important columns in the CSV before conversion so that the core data fits better on the page.

Is there a row limit for safe conversion?

There is no hard-coded row limit, but extremely large CSVs can make the browser slow when generating HTML and rendering the PDF. For best results, convert small to medium-sized tables (hundreds or a few thousand rows) and split very large datasets into multiple PDF reports.
