Hi,

One day, I was sharing all my emails from one system to other. Then, I got a bulk number of emails in MSG file format. All those emails were really important for me. Therefore, I need to save Outlook MSG as PDF along with all the attachments. Can anyone suggest any method to complete this task of converting Outlook MSG files to PDF?

Hello, nnYou can simply open MSG files with MS Outlook and save them in HTML format. After that, you can easily save them in PDF format.

This method is fine but not suitable for bulk emails. As, I am having thousands of MSG files, I want a solution that can help me to save Outlook MSG to PDF in batch.

Try a third-party tool MSG File to PDF Converter tool to export and convert Outlook MSG file to PDF in batch in order to save MSG emails in PDF format as a backup. This tool will help you in saving attachments as well.
