Why XLT to PDF is messy—and how WPS Office helps
Old Excel templates are still in inboxes. The job is not renaming the extension. It is opening the template, checking layout, then exporting a PDF others can open anywhere.
Upload-only converters
✕ Pain: Online XLT to PDF sites ask you to upload payroll or invoice templates.
WPS solution: Convert locally in the suite. Sensitive sheets stay on the device.

Broken print layout
✕ Pain: Columns split across pages and charts lose their scale in the PDF.
WPS solution: Set Fit to Page, orientation, and print titles before Export to PDF.

Template vs final copy
✕ Pain: Recipients keep editing the template instead of reading a fixed report.
WPS solution: Keep the .xlt, Save As XLSX for work, then convert XLT to PDF for sharing.
