MS Excel 97 2000 XP to PCD conversion is the process of transforming spreadsheets saved in the legacy XLS binary format (used by Excel 97, 2000 and XP) into the Kodak Photo CD (PCD) image format. This conversion typically rasterizes worksheet content—tables, charts and embedded graphics—into one or more PCD image frames suitable for archival or imaging workflows that require the PCD raster format.
