    About the formats

    .xls

    XLS is the old Excel format used before 2007. It has a smaller row limit and is gradually losing support.

    .pdf

    PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere. Layout, fonts and images are fixed, which is great for reading and printing but makes PDFs hard to edit.
