The downloaded zip file contains the setup.exe and other supporting documents. Extract these file contents to a file folder.

Per User Installation and Per Machine Installation

In Per User Installation, the install is performed 100% on the local system. Further, this install is intended to serve only the current logged on user of the system/workstation and will be installed under the user’s application data folder (instead of Programs Files folder) and no elevated permission is required (This is known as per user installation). So, there won’t be a prompt from UAC to allow this install unless you change the install directory to say, Programs Files which will warrant an elevated permission/UAC prompt. If the same system is used by multiple users, each one needs to install the app on their profile with the default installation folder location.

Per Machine Installation: If you have the need to have a single install that serves all users of the system (i.e., per machine installation, which technically means the files will be installed under Program files folder), request the Citrix/Terminal Server version of the setups from us to perform a per machine installation.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1. Run the GmailToPdfSetup.exe to start the installation. Click ‘Next‘ to Continue.

Step 2. Select the appropriate destination folder where the application files will be installed. If you change the default folder path, please make sure you have appropriate permission. (Note: by default, it will be installed under your application data folder)

Step 3. Click ‘Next’ to continue with the files extraction. It just takes a few minutes to complete the whole copying process.

Step 4. Click ‘Finish’. This ends the files installation process in your system.

Now go to Start Menu > All Apps. If the installation was successful, you will see new menu entries ‘Gmail to PDF Converter – Simple Mode’ and ‘Gmail to PDF Converter – Advanced Mode‘.

To run the Gmail to PDF Converter app with easy to use (default) mode, click ‘Gmail to PDF Converter – Simple Mode‘ from the menu under ‘All Apps’. This will load and display the main interface of the converter app.

To run the Gmail to PDF Converter app in advanced mode with full control over which emails to convert to PDF, click ‘Gmail to PDF Converter – Advanced Mode‘ from the menu under ‘All Apps’.

Before connecting the AssistMyTeam Gmail to PDF Converter app to your Google mail account for the first time, you will need to specify the email address. Note that, the PDF App will not ask for your Google password. Instead, it uses the modern OAuth2 authentication standard whereby, it will get an access token issued by Google for a short period.

When you try to connect the PDF Converter app to your Google mail account, you will be prompted to grant permissions to the app to access your mailbox in your web browser. To allow the app to convert your emails to PDF, click the particular Gmail account from the prompt.

And in the next prompt, you will need to grant access to your chosen Google mail account by clicking the ‘Continue’ button.

You can also see the permissions requested by the PDF App by clicking the ‘Service’ link in the prompt.

To configure the output settings for PDF from emails and attachments, click the ‘Settings’ button. Within the settings dialog, you will find options to tweak and customize the default file naming scheme, specify the PDF output behavior, set watermark text or logo, set security password to be applied to PDF, modify the page setup, paper size, layout etc.
