How to Convert Email to PDF

Download and install a free trial to try it out, or install and activate your purchased copy. The setup program will install the PDF Creator Plus app and PDF Creator Plus 8 virtual printer to your computer.

PDF Creator Plus can convert and merge email messages to PDF by printing the emails to the PDF Creator Plus 8 virtual printer instead of your regular printer.

Combining the virtual printer with the PDF Creator Plus app allows you to build your PDF from multiple emails and other documents. You only need to continue printing additional messages and other documents or dropping PDF files into the app until you have collected all the pages for your PDF.

Convert to PDF from any document with the PDF Creator Plus 8 app and printer added to your computer.

To start, open your favorite email client. Two popular desktop email clients are the Office 365 desktop app for Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. Also popular are web-based email clients for Office 365 and Gmail by Google

Below demonstrates converting an email from Microsoft Outlook on a desktop. The steps are similar for other email clients. With your email program open and a message selected, go to File->Print from the application menu.

Click File and then choose Print from the menu to start converting your email to PDF.

From the Print options screen, select any printing options for your email message. Next, choose PDF Creator Plus 8 from the list of printers and click the Print button to begin.

Working With Email Messages and Other Files in PDF Creator Plus

The PDF Creator Plus 8 printer sends the printed pages from your email message or online email client to the PDF Creator Plus app. 

In the app, you can use the included tools to annotate the pages with text, shape, and images. Furthermore, in the app’s thumbnail view, you can move, rotate, and delete unwanted pages before creating your PDF file.

Although printing your email does not keep any outline or hyperlink information, there are annotation tools for adding outline headings and hyperlinks back on your pages. See Creating An Outline/Bookmarks in PDF Creator to learn how to add outline information to your pages before creating your PDF. Subsequently, for hyperlinks, see our article How do I add a hyperlink to a PDF Creator Plus Project?

After you have collected your pages in the app, click the Create PDF button to convert your email to PDF. Alternatively, you can continue printing to add other pages and documents.

Click the Create PDF button to save your email as a PDF.
