Lossless conversion

If the conversion path supports lossless mode (e.g., PNG to PNG, WAV to FLAC), Excel to PDF preserves every byte of detail. Where the formats fundamentally differ in what they can represent, "lossless" is impossible by definition — but Excel to PDF's "quality" preset gets visually indistinguishable for most content.
