Email to PDF guide
Email to PDF Converter for Windows
For saved email files on Windows, use EML to PDF Converter for .eml files and MSG to PDF Converter for Outlook .msg files.
Choose by file type
- .EML files: use EML to PDF Converter.
- .MSG files: use MSG to PDF Converter.
At a practical level, an EML file is a saved email message in .eml format. An MSG file is a saved Outlook message in .msg format. Choose the converter that matches the files you have.
What the two converters have in common
Both ABTOOLS email converters are Windows desktop applications that process files locally. Both support batch workflows for multiple files or folders, and both include a free trial for the first 3 successful conversions before licensing is required.
Important differences
MSG to PDF Converter reads saved Outlook .msg files directly, so Microsoft Outlook does not need to be installed. It can list attachments in the PDF and save them separately alongside the converted output.
EML to PDF Converter is for saved .eml messages. It supports HTML and plain-text messages, attachments, inline images, Unicode and CJK text, and common MIME structures.
