A PDF missing columns may reflect the selected print range, paper layout, or page breaks. Inspect the complete PDF before changing source data.
Confirm the output scope
In File > Print, check Current sheet, Workbook, or Selected cells. Confirm the rightmost required column lies inside the selected area and is not hidden unintentionally.
Look through every preview page. A column may continue on a separate horizontal page rather than being absent from the export altogether.
Adjust layout and breaks
Review paper size, orientation, margins, and scaling. Landscape or a suitable fit-to-width choice can help a moderately wide report, but shrinking a very large table onto one page can make it unreadable.
Use Set custom page breaks to define sensible boundaries, then confirm the breaks. Avoid splitting an identifier from all of its related values if the report will be read page by page.
Inspect the exported artifact
Open the actual PDF and check the first and last columns, wrapped cells, totals, and all pages at normal reading size. A successful download and plausible filename do not prove the export contains the full intended report.
If the receiving viewer or printer applies another scale, inspect that output separately. Keep a copy of the verified PDF when reproducibility matters. Do not delete columns, lower the workbook’s font size indiscriminately, or modify formulas merely to fit one export. Select a readable report layout or a different authorized distribution format when the data is too wide for a practical printed page.
