Insert Excel Graph to LaTeX

If you make your plots/graphs etc. in Microsoft Excel and wish to insert them into a LaTex document (while still mainting their scalability), this might be the right blog entry for you. So, here’s the trick:

1. Publish your plot/graph as a .pdf file. You might end up something like this, a plot with a lot of white space around Example.
2. The trick is to remove all the white space from the pdf file, before inserting your  plot/graph in LaTex. This can be done with the PDF CROPPER tool. Download it from here.
3. Run the program, drag your pdf file (with white spaces), import your pdf file, and click the “Action” button.  The output is a new pdf file where all the surrounding white space is removed. See the Example
4. Now, the plot can be inserted into your LaTex document, like all other pictures. Enjoy
