Outlook PDF auto- does not save the attachments and the portfolios seem to be missing alot of files.

There are several things going on here so bare with my explanation:  I have been having Adobe automatically convert all my outlook items to PDF for several months.  However in reality it only keeps converting the same 4 emails and puts them into one portfolio file.  I thought it was me simply not understanding how to use the portfolio function but now I'm thinking there is more to it.   You see we are talking about 8 years worth of work emails and I throw very little away.  So today I was trying to convert just a few specific emails and all their attachments to PDF using the "Convert to Adobe PDF" function but once again it turns it into a portfolio and doesn't convert the attachments.  I started manually converting saving and combining PDF's which was a real pain.  However I started noticing that some emails were still being saved as portfolios (if I did convert to PDF rather than file print as PDF)  this caused a problem when combining files since it would add the file to the portfolio and then I couldn't find it any more. which lead me to believe I was just missing something  and didn't know how to use the portfolio. I found the following link about outlook converting to PDF. https://www.evermap.com/AutoPortfolio/ConvertPSTtoPDF.pdf   I started following it however I don't seem to have the "plug in" in my adobe ribbon and couldn't figure out how to add it. It seems like if I did the plug in they suggested on the mentioned website that I could then see all the attachments.  I did notice that when playing with the view that if I go to detail it will show how many attachments the PDF has and the body in the email has a link to open the attachments, however they open in outlook as emails not as PDFs. and any other PDF's I combined to the portfolio seem to still have no way to open them since they are not in the body.    Please help: 1.) How do I get an email with attachments to all be one PDF. 2.) How do I automatically back up my outlook files to PDFs.  2.) How do I add "Plug ins" to my ribbon.
