CSV to PDF Table
Turn delimited rows into a clean, paginated PDF table. Auto-sized columns, repeated headers, grid lines, and zebra banding — all in your browser.
CSV to PDF table
Turn a small or medium CSV-style table into a printable PDF without uploading the data. Paste comma, tab, semicolon, or pipe-delimited rows, choose the page layout, and download a PDF data URL that contains a formatted table.
The renderer repeats the header row on every page, sizes columns to the page, right-aligns numeric columns, truncates very long cells with an ellipsis, and can draw grid lines plus light row banding for readability.
Worked example
Input:
name,age,team
Alice,30,East
Bob,25,West
Carol,28,East
With title Team roster, page size letter, orientation portrait, and font size
10, the output is a data:application/pdf;base64,... URL. Save or open that URL to
get a PDF headed “Team roster” with a bold name / age / team table header and one
row for each person.
Limits & edge cases
- Input is parsed as delimited text with flexible row lengths; short rows get blank trailing cells so the table remains rectangular.
- Headers are optional. When enabled, the first row is bold and repeated on every page; when disabled, every row is treated as data.
- Fonts use built-in Helvetica/Helvetica-Bold. Latin-1 characters are preserved;
characters outside Latin-1 are replaced with
?. - Columns shrink proportionally when the table is wider than the page, and long cell text is ellipsized rather than wrapped.
- Very large tables produce large PDFs; for huge datasets, sample or filter the CSV first.
FAQ
Does this upload my spreadsheet or CSV?
No. The page runs the PDF writer locally in WebAssembly. The pasted rows are turned into a PDF data URL in your browser.
Can I use tab-separated or pipe-separated data?
Yes. Set the delimiter control to tab, semicolon, or pipe. The parser uses that same delimiter for every row before drawing the table.
What happens if my table has too many columns?
Columns are measured and then scaled down to fit the page. For wide data, switch to landscape orientation, lower the font size, or remove columns before generating the PDF.
Will the header appear after a page break?
Yes. If “first row is a header” is enabled, that row is drawn in bold at the top of each page so multi-page tables stay readable.
