Re: Convert msg to pdf
Hello, Antaras
Unfortunately, we do not support converting MSG files directly. The only way we can process them is through a mail application, either printing to PDF, or if you are using outlook specifically, by using the PDF-Xchange toolbar addin.
If you have all of the emails these MSG filed were generated from located in a single folder on your email server, you could select the entire contents of the folder within the outlook window, and use our toolbar addin to convert them all in a sort of "manual batch". If you do decide to do this, you would definitely want to first disable this option before you begin: Kind regards,

Re: Convert msg to pdf
Hi Daniel,
I am looking for a way to convert msg-files to PDF, too. I just double-checked, when I open a msg-file in Outlook and open the print dialog, it shows me the option "Microsoft Print to PDF". That works very well.
Is it possible to include this Microsoft Outlook converter as an additional converter to PDF-Tools (similar to the Microsoft Word converter)?
Regards,
Thomas

Re: Convert msg to pdf
Hello Thomas Kregelin,
That is a tool provided by Microsoft - so it is a separate "virtual printer" similar to our PDF XChange Lite/Standard printer that we offer.
With a Tools license you should have the PDF XChange Lite printer installed.
The Add-in Daniel mentioned is included in the PDF XChange Pro bundle.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: Convert msg to pdf
Dear Stefan,
I have tried to build a process tool in PDF-Tools to convert msg-messages to PDF. I used the Print Document action for that. Without success.
I want to use that tool in a folder monitor, so that each msg-file that appears gets converted to a pdf.
Is there any chance to have an action included into PDF-Tools that converts msg to pdf?

Thomas

Hello Thomas Kregelin,
There isn't such an option in Tools directly - you still need to go through Outlook and the plug-in we provide there for the Standard printer, or the "File -> Print" option that Lite will show up in.
I will check with our devs but can not promise that we would be able to offer a direct .msg to PDF conversion tool!
Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, jaroslavzacek
You will be happy to know that the Devs are working towards this now, it is still too early to promise that it will make it through the development process, but it is beyond simply "being considered" at this point.

Re: Convert msg to pdf
I appreciate you adding this feature! The appearance of the documents is laconic, but pleasant. Should we now wait for the addition of support for .msg and .eml formats in the list of imported formats in PDF-Tools?Build 10.2.0.384
Released Jan 8th, 2024 . Requires maintenance through Jan 8th, 2024
Added functionality to convert email files to PDF. Open email message files (.msg and .eml) in PDF-XChange Editor to convert them to PDF.

Re: Convert msg to pdf
I tried to search for the tool using the words "msg" and "eml" and the search did not show anything. From which I concluded that support for these formats is not yet available in PDF-Tools. If this is not the case, you may need to tweak your tool search a bit to include file extensions supported by the tools.

Hi, Jensen Head
yes, the search doesn't pick that up, but the tool works once you find it!
