Converting on the PDF Candy website is arguably more practical if you don't have Microsoft Office applications on your laptop or PC. However, if you have Microsoft Office, it's easier because you can use the application without internet access.

In fact, besides PDF Candy, there are also other sites that provide features for converting Excel files to PDF, such as iLove PDF, Small PDF, Adobe Acrobat, Nitr PDF, PDF24 Tools, PDF.io, and many more.

All of these sites even offer features that can easily convert PDF to Excel. However, PDF to Excel conversion is usually more effective when you use a paid service or application. It could be said that PDF itself is a popular document format when transferred between users because its content format, such as fonts, images, structure, and others are maintained even when moved between laptops or PCs so that the results remain good when printed using a printer.
