Explanation:

  1. Read .eml file as text using “Read Text File” activity.
  2. Save it with .html extension.
  3. Open .html in Word using “Word Application Scope”.
  4. Export to PDF Inside the Word scope, using Save Document as PDF.

The Output:

As far as i am aware, there is no direct way of doing it.

You might have to use a third-party package (from Marketplace) or Write a “Custom Invoke Code” in order to maintain the same format of the Print option along with the attachment details.

I have not tried this, but could you check:
