A PDF someone can read
Export any table as a paginated PDF: paper from A2 to A5, B4, B5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid or Executive; lettering that is compact (7 pt), standard (9 pt) or readable (11 pt); grid lines and stripes if you want them; a title and page numbers. A table wider than the paper is shrunk to a legible floor, fitted to the width, or continued across pages with the key columns repeated on each — never squeezed into slivers.
The file stays small: text is set a row at a time rather than a letter at a time. For archiving, choose PDF/A-2b; the result passes veraPDF, the reference validator.
Word, rich text and HTML
- Word
.docx: a formatted table with page numbers in the footer, for Word and Pages. - Rich text: pastes into Pages, Word or Mail as a real table.
- HTML: a styled table ready for a page — optionally with a small script that sorts, filters and searches it in any browser, with no connection needed.
- Markdown, LaTeX and AsciiDoc for documentation, numbers aligned right if you like.
Printing
Printing sets the table the way the PDF export does: headings repeated on every page, page numbers, fitted to the width or broken into bands of columns — and Save as PDF from the print dialog is quick and small too.
