Creating PDF from Outlook on a MAC

Participant ,
Nov 07, 2019 Nov 07, 2019

Just moved to MAC Power Book ... have full Adobe license for  Distiller and Acrobat

I occasionally need to create pdf versions of emails.On a PC , I would just select 'save as pdf'  -  or print and select "pdf as a printer"

On Mac only the installed printer shows ... no oiption for pdf, same under 'save as' - no option to select pdf.

 

I tried plan B .. save email to documents (it is an eml file) . then from within Acrobat chose 'create pdf' ... but when I select file it says file type not supported ?

 

Do I need to somehow add Acrobat into MAC as a printer ?

There used to be a PDF printer in Mac, but Apple blocked it years ago. That's not an option.

I don't think Acrobat can read EML files.

I wonder if you are able to use Apple's own Save As PDF from the print dialog?

 

(Powerbooks were discontinued in 2006. If you are actually running a Powerbook, my answer is wrong, because old systems of that vintage, and old versions of Acrobat of that vintage, do have a PDF printer. I've answered for Macbook/Macbook Pro/Macbook Air running a recent version of macOS. Apple constantly change macOS, deliberately breaking and blocking old apps, so it's always worth mentioning your macOS version).
