An Excel file is a spreadsheet created in Microsoft Excel, saved today with the .xlsx extension. It organises data into rows and columns across one or more worksheets and stores far more than the numbers themselves: formulas, cell formatting, charts, pivot tables, conditional rules, and named ranges all live in the same file. Modern Excel workbooks use the open Office Open XML standard, which is why so many other programs can read them.

 

How to open an Excel file?

Microsoft Excel is the natural choice, and Excel for the web opens workbooks in a browser with a Microsoft account.

 

Without Excel, use Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, or Apple Numbers — all of them recalculate formulas. Advanced features such as pivot tables and macros may behave differently outside Excel. To circulate figures that recipients should read but not edit, convert the workbook with our Excel to PDF tool.

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that comprises characteristics of both text documents and graphic images which makes it one of the most commonly used file types today. The reason PDF is so widely popular is that it can preserve original document formatting. PDF files always look identical on any device or operating system.

 

How to open a PDF file?

Most people head right to Adobe Acrobat Reader when they need to open a PDF. Adobe created the PDF standard and its program is certainly the most popular free PDF reader out there. It's completely fine to use, but I find it to be a somewhat bloated program with lots of features that you may never need or want to use.

 

Most web browsers, like both Chrome and Firefox, can open PDFs themselves. You may or may not need an add-on or extension to do it, but it's pretty handy to have one open automatically when you click a PDF link online. I highly recommend SumatraPDF or MuPDF if you're after something a bit more. Both are free.
