## Why Convert Numbers to PDF?

Apple Numbers is a powerful spreadsheet application, but .numbers files can only be opened on macOS and iOS devices. Converting to PDF makes your spreadsheet data accessible to anyone on any platform.

**Cross-platform sharing. **Windows, Linux, and Android devices cannot open .numbers files natively. Converting to PDF creates a universally readable document that anyone can view regardless of their operating system or available software.

**Protect data from modification. **Sharing a Numbers file allows recipients to modify the data. A PDF is read-only, preserving the original values, formatting, and layout exactly as published.

**Professional presentation. **PDF output maintains the visual design of your Numbers spreadsheet — fonts, colors, borders, and charts — in a fixed layout suitable for reports, invoices, and financial summaries.

**When to keep Numbers instead: **If the spreadsheet needs further editing or collaboration with other Apple users, keep it as .numbers. Convert to PDF only when the data is finalized and ready for distribution.

Enconvert converts Numbers files server-side. The free tier supports 100 conversions per month with no sign-up required.

## FAQ

### Can Windows or Android users open Numbers files?

No. Apple Numbers files (.numbers) can only be opened natively on macOS and iOS. While iCloud.com offers web-based access, it requires an Apple ID. Converting to PDF removes this platform restriction entirely — the PDF opens on any device with any PDF reader.

### Are charts and formatting preserved?

Yes. Enconvert preserves tables, charts, cell formatting, borders, and colors during conversion. Charts appear as static images in the PDF, maintaining their visual design from the original Numbers spreadsheet.

### Does the PDF include all sheets in the workbook?

The conversion processes visible sheets in the Numbers workbook. Each sheet becomes a separate section in the PDF with appropriate page breaks.

### Is there a file size limit for Numbers to PDF conversion?

The free tier accepts Numbers files up to 5 MB with 100 conversions per month — no sign-up or credit card required. The Starter plan ($19/mo) supports 2,000 conversions with 15 MB file limits, the Pro plan ($49/mo) supports 10,000 conversions with 50 MB limits, and the Business plan ($149/mo) supports 50,000 conversions with 150 MB limits.

### Can I automate Numbers to PDF conversion?

Yes. The Enconvert API supports programmatic conversion. Send .numbers files via the REST API and receive PDF output. Integration examples are available in Python, JavaScript, and cURL.
