What's the difference between XLS and XLSX files?
Both XLS and XLSX file formats are Microsoft Excel files. They're essentially the same – an empty Excel sheet with rows and columns. The main difference is one superseded the other. XLS is the original Excel file format from the 1980s until the mid-2000s. In 2007, XLS was superseded by XLSX, which was based on Open XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) standard. From Office 2007 onwards, XLSX became the dominant Excel file.
How do I open my file after converting from PDF to Excel?
There are two ways to open your new Excel file. First, you can download the file to your computer and open via Excel – provided you have access to it. Second, you can open it online directly from Acrobat by clicking the edit in Excel button. For the second option, you'll need to sign into your Adobe account.
Can I link to a PDF in Excel?
