Converting Email Safelink issues

We use Microsoft Safelinks to ensure our companies email is not infected with viruses. Microsoft Safelink puts a wrapper around a link and replaces the current link text that would be located in an email.  For some reason, when you try to convert any email to a pdf that has a longer link, the pdf will be extremely small. It is like it is trying to fit the email on landscape 1 x 1 page. It is so small that you have to increase it to 800 to be able to read the pdf.

We have tested various emails and documents and the issues remains. If the link is too long than it won't convert to a pfd correctly. I have tried to take one of the emails, copy the text into word and then convert to a pdf. This will keep the correct size of the font but removes all hyperlinks from the email.

Kicking a dead post here, but has there been any resolution to this? I noticed the Adobe rep stepped in for a minute only to realize the tool she was recommending doesn't exist.

 

I've also contacted Microsoft with this issue and received a similar level of "expert" help.

    We use Microsoft Office 365 Outlook for email. Please see below for screen shot of version

    For Adobe Acrobat, we are using the subscription model

    To convert the emails, I select File from Outlook then select Save as Adobe PDF

    We do not use the print to PDF since the links don’t carry over.

    Thanks
