Does it work with scanned documents?

Why is a cell red or yellow?
Red means a check failed, for example a total that does not equal the rows above it. Yellow means the value should be checked, for example a word the OCR was unsure about. Hover the cell in Excel to read why.
What does "Remove repeated rows" do?
With Yes, a row exactly the same as an earlier one is left out and listed on a "Removed rows" sheet. With No, every row is kept.
Can I convert Excel back to PDF?
Yes - use the Excel to PDF tool. Each sheet becomes a neat table in the PDF.
The first conversion is slow. Why?
The first time, your browser downloads the converter (a few megabytes). It is then kept in the browser cache, and later conversions start quickly.
