FAQ
What should I do if the exported PDF layout looks different from the original spreadsheet?
- Check whether the spreadsheet uses fonts, special formatting, or complex layouts that may be less stable on mobile.
- Export again and confirm whether you want the active sheet or the active workbook.
- If the difference is still obvious, simplify special formatting and export again.
- For files with stricter layout requirements, review the content carefully before exporting.
What should I do if PDF export fails or shows an error?
- Check whether your network connection is stable.
- Confirm whether the file is very large, especially if it contains many images or complex formatting.
- Close the file, reopen it, and try the export again.
- If the issue continues, reduce the content size or export in smaller parts.
Why can’t I see some export or scan-to-PDF options?
- Make sure you are in the spreadsheet file page or the correct WPS home entry.
- Check whether you are signed in.
- Watch for on-screen prompts, because some features require WPS Premium.
- Update WPS Office to the latest version and check the entry again.
