Batch converting .msg files to PDF

[jessica_8742]

I have hundreds of .msg files that have been dragged and dropped into a file folder on a Windows PC. Is there a way to mass convert these files keeping their same file name from the folder into PDFs? I have Adobe Pro. I know I can create a file folder in Outlook and drop the files there and then from there, I can use the Acrobat tab in Outlook and convert them to PDFs that way. The problem with this way is the file names do not save as what they were named in the original file folder. So I have no way of comparing if the converted PDF files match the files from the folder. And this way did not convert all of my messages. For some reason, does not convert all of the messages and the Status says 'Not an email message'. It therefore was not converted. And I have no way of seeing which ones were not converted, especially because the ones that were converted have a different file name than what they were labeled as in the original file folder.  It would be so easy if Adobe just had .msg as a supported format in their program, where you could create multiple PDF files and choose the destination folder and to keep the same file names, like you can when mass converting Word docs for example. Is there any solution for this?

I have attached a screenshot of the files that need converting. I have also attached a screenshot of when I go into Adobe > Create > Create multiple PDF files > Add Files and the Outlook emails are not there as a supported file type to be able to convert.

Batch converting MSG files to PDF manually can be a tedious task, as most email clients do not offer a built-in option for bulk conversion. One method is to open each MSG file individually using Microsoft Outlook and then save or print it as a PDF. To do this, open the MSG file, click on File > Print, and select Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer. However, this manual approach is time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple MSG files, and it does not guarantee that attachments will be properly preserved within the PDF output.
