Saving MSG to PDF, Now a Quick Process

in #migration8 years ago

Most users associate PST file format with Microsoft Outlook, not many are aware that single messages of Outlook are saved in MSG format, a single MSG can contain, text, formatting, images, hyperlinks, graphics, attachment, etc. MSG files can be store in Outlook itself, these are called configured MSG files and they can also be store in other location, without Outlook, they are called orphan MSG files.

Users working in legal or forensics field, often ask, how they can read MSG files without having to install Outlook, or how they could present MSG files as evidence in the court or concern parties.

We generally suggest users to install Outlook, but in some cases Outlook is not a feasible solution, on those circumstance, our suggestion is PDF file format.

PDF is a portable document format, which could be share, collaborate and edited, easily. Also it is far easier to present PDF file other than messages. But here the question is how to save MSG files into PDF format, here is a simple method available, you can give it a try:

• Open Outlook, choose a MSG file
• Click on File >> Save As >> HTML
• Now select the saved HTML file
• Right-Click >> Choose Open With >> MS Word
• In MS Word click on File >> Save As >> PDF

Now you can read MSG files as PDF in Adobe Reader easily. This method is useful for saving few MSG files. But for large scale migration it may not be suitable and a suggest option. As this software also lack when it comes to saving emails attachment, some users may not find the solution that much useful.

During the process the tool saves the attachment files of the emails as well and that in their original format.
