Converting multiple emails to individual pdfs

Report · Jun 26, 2017

I am trying to convert 100s of outlook emails into individual pdfs. I am using Adobe Pro DC. When I go to File>Create>Create Multiple PDF files it does not show these outlook emails as "supported formats". However, if I access the saved file I can right click and select "convert to pdf". I would really like a solution to batch convert these ( without having to 'print to pdf' since it does not save the file name) Thanks!

I know this post is from 2017, but since I came accross it and have found the solution I am posting it for anyone else looking to do the above. This feature is now available using PDF Portfolios.

In Outlook, I selected all the emails and went to Acrobat. There, I clicked on Selected Messages/Create New PDF and selected a folder. Note, once converted the emails will open in a single PDF, but you will be able to select emails individually. In that PDF just created, select all the emails, right click on your mouse and select Extract from Portfolio. Choose the designated folder and you're done.

I discovered this as well but the only downside for us was the filename kept cutting off when there was a period . in the filename. For our operations we get emails with dollar amounts from purchases and we are trying to convert to PDF like we could with a different tool but are unable to retain the full file name which was the subject line.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that

Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. If the file is stored on a shared network/drive please download it to your computer locally and then try again.

What is the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 24.01.206XX installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://adobe.ly/3PNa5jG

Let us know how it goes
