You could open the .eml and .msg files in outlook and then print them to PDF.

Hi @T0Bi ,

I have already tried that method like it becomes desktop automation, which I don’t want to happen. I want the operation to happen in backend.

Hi @Murli_Manohar ,

If you want to avoid desktop automation, you can try vb scripting to convert the formats from .msg to .pdf.

Something like this:

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
PrintPDF.UseShellExecute = True
PrintPDF.Verb = “print”
PrintPDF.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
PrintPDF.FileName = sFullFileName
Process.Start(psi)

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Abhilash.

T0Bi’s response is right.

If you want it to be done in the background (not involving installations etc…) I would suggest you look at utilising 3rd party tools and a custom activity (such as aspose).

It won’t be as straight forward but converting a file type from one to another is not simple and so not using the GUI requires a more advanced solution.
