Convert CSV to PDF

How to convert CSV to PDF

1. Open a .csv, .tsv or .txt file, drop it on the tool, or paste rows. Check the table under Input; set the delimiter, header row or encoding under Import settings if needed.
2. Set the Title (it starts as the file name), Page size, Orientation and Text size (pt).
3. Under Columns, untick any columns you don't want to print. Columns keep their order from the file.
4. Select Download PDF.

To convert many files with the same settings, choose Batch: convert several files. Each file becomes its own PDF titled with its file name, and they download together as one ZIP. In a batch, each file must be 25 MB or smaller.

Page and table options

Wide tables

Each column is as wide as its longest line, up to 45% of the printable width; longer text wraps inside the cell. When the selected columns don't fit across the page, the table is split into column groups. The first group prints all its rows, then the next group starts on a new page, and so on. Nothing is printed outside the page.

• Every group after the first repeats the first selected column, so each row stays identifiable. Put an ID or name column first, or untick columns before it, to choose which column repeats.
• A small label at the top right of each group, such as 15–26 / 41, shows which of the selected columns that page holds.
• To fit more columns per page, choose Landscape, a larger page such as A3, or a smaller text size, or untick columns you don't need.

Languages, fonts and right-to-left text

Values that fit Windows-1252 (English and most Western European text) use the PDF's built-in Helvetica, so no font is downloaded. Any other text gets a Noto Sans font, chosen per cell and downloaded from assets.viewcsv.app only if the data needs it:

• The font is embedded in the PDF, so it prints and displays the same on any device. Text stays selectable and searchable. Arabic is stored as shaped glyphs in display order, so text copied out of the PDF may not match the original cell characters exactly.
• Arabic cells are shaped and right-aligned. The table itself still runs left to right, with the first column on the left.
• Each cell is drawn with a single font. A cell that mixes scripts no single font covers, such as Arabic and Chinese together, or one with emoji, stops the conversion with the row and column named. Nothing is replaced by empty boxes.

When the PDF can’t be created or looks cramped

• A cell has characters that no single PDF font can draw. The message names the row and column. Remove the emoji or symbols there, or move text in different scripts into separate columns with the CSV editor. For data that must keep them, use CSV to HTML or CSV to Excel.
• A font couldn't be downloaded. Fonts come from assets.viewcsv.app. Check your connection, firewall or content blocker, then try again.
• The result is too large for this format. PDF export stops above 20,000 data rows or 2,000 pages. Filter the rows you need to print, or split the CSV into parts.
• Columns are very narrow and text wraps a lot. Switch to Landscape or A3, lower the text size, or untick columns. Long free-text columns print best with Wrap onto more lines.

Limits and privacy

PDF export takes up to 20,000 data rows and 2,000 pages. The CSV must also open in the browser workspace: up to 25 MB, 100,000 rows, 250 columns and 2 million cells.

The PDF is built with the open-source jsPDF and jspdf-autotable libraries in a background worker in this tab, so the page stays responsive and Cancel stops it. Only font files are downloaded; the CSV and the PDF never leave your device.

Example: two invoices as a PDF table

Two invoices with leading-zero numbers, a quoted comma, Polish place names and a two-line note, converted with the default settings (A4 landscape, 9 pt) and the title invoices. The text below was extracted from the downloaded PDF with pdftotext -layout; the page number is drawn as 1 / 1. Łódź is outside Windows-1252, so the 0.6 MB Latin font was embedded for those cells; everything else uses Helvetica.
