MBOX to PDF Converter | Save Emails from MBOX to PDFs

In this mode, you can perform bulk conversion of the emails from all the chosen MBOX files to PDF files, or combine all of the MBOX files into one, single PDF file. Simply, click the ‘Save as PDF‘ button as illustrated below.

From the ‘Save as PDF’ dialog box, you have myriad of options for PDF conversions of the emails and their attachments.

Option 1: Convert each email to own PDF file

By default, each email in the MBOX will be converted to their own PDF file, without the attachments. If you want the attachments to be part of the exported PDF file, you can choose one of the following possibilities:

• Convert each attachment to their own PDF file.
• Extract the attachment to disk in its original format as a separate file.
• Embed the attachment in its original format within the PDF file of the email.
• Combine all attachments into one PDF file and output separately than the PDF of the email content.
• Append and combine each attachment as PDF pages to the PDF of the email as one long, continuous PDF file.

Watermark and Security Password

In addition, you can apply a watermark to each page of the converted PDF file in the form of a text (e.g., your company name) or an image (e.g., your company logo). After that, to protect and limit certain operations on the converted PDF file by users, you can apply a security password. Consequently, a user who want to open and view the PDF file in PDF Viewer will need to enter this security password. The same is hold true when a user tries printing, making changes, copying etc.

Option 2: Combine emails of each MBOX to one PDF file

In this option, you can combine all the emails of each MBOX and merge to one PDF file. And the generated PDF will bear the name of the MBOX file.

By the same token, if you have chosen 10 MBOX files in the list, this mode will output 10 PDF files, each PDF file containing all the emails of a particular MBOX.

Optionally, you can configure how the attachments of the emails will appear in the one PDF file. You can choose one of the following possibilities:

• Each attachment is embedded in their original format in the PDF.
