Depending on which email solution you use, the process of saving an email in PDF format will differ.

Email to PDF in Outlook

You’re lucky if you have to do it using Outlook, which allows you to save an Outlook email as a PDF. After having double-clicked on the message which you need to save, you want to open the File menu item, and tap Save as. In the dialog box, choose a folder to save the file. And that’s all there is to it – save the file.

But when it comes to converting a bunch of mismatched files, you run into a problem – each of them needs to be converted on different sites, each file needs to be downloaded separately, and these converters do not have any additional functionality, like the page numeration ability we talked about earlier.

Multiple emails to PDF format

You are good to go with the above-mentioned methods to convert email to pdf as long as you have to deal with just a few email messages. But when it comes to converting multiple emails to PDF format, or email archives for that matter, the job of saving letters one-by-one becomes tedious. Specific applications like the ones offered by emailindetail.com are suited best for this purpose.

With Email Detail Archive you will be able to save all common emails to PDF in a few clicks. The app supports emails from Gmail, Outlook, PST, MBOX, EML, MSG files. The resulting files can be organized in different ways. For example, the pages can be numbered or the date will be added to the file name.

The ability to deal with various file formats is especially appreciated by companies that receive tons of emails from their customers or partners as part of their business activities. First of all, we are talking about law firms that often have to deal with corporate correspondence that comes in different formats and sizes. Just imagine a situation when three parties taking part in court proceedings, present e-mail archives in different formats (mbox, pst, etc.), flavoring the correspondence with images and .doc files. In such cases, the ability to save an email as a pdf looks pathetic, and even the ability to make an email into pdf over the internet looks puny, and cannot replace the ability to convert various types of files to pdf massively with the use of special programs designed to make the job done quickly with an expected result.
