What to Expect from Converted Files
When converting files, you can expect high fidelity for native PDFs. However, there may be limitations for scanned documents, as layout fidelity issues can arise with complex formats.

Scenarios for Converting Spreadsheets
There are several real-world scenarios where converting spreadsheets to PDF is advantageous. For instance, sending invoices as PDFs ensures that clients receive professional-looking documents.
