Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to give edit access to download as PDF?
No. You only need to change the sharing settings to "Anyone with the link" and give at least view access. This makes the PDF downloadable, not the sheet editable.
Will this work with multiple tabs?
Yes. The PDF download will include the currently selected sheet tab, and all sheets. The CSV download only includes the selected sheet. Watch this youtube video to find out how download CSV as Zip file.
Can I customize the margins or scale?
Not directly here, but you can adjust scaling and margins in the sheet's print settings before generating the link. These settings will be respected in the export URL. Check out our PDF options page for more advanced options.
Why is my PDF blank or missing content?
Make sure the sheet is publicly viewable and you've selected the correct tab. Also double-check if "fit to width" is unchecked—sometimes zooming too far out can hide content.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes! You can generate and open the download link on mobile browsers. However, editing the PDF URL options is easier on desktop.
What's the difference between preview and htmlview?
Preview mode shows your sheet without menus but maintains Google Sheets styling. HTML view renders the sheet as a basic HTML table, which is better for embedding or when you need a simpler format.
