Same Mail Attachment Activity will save only attachment only. but i want whole Outlook email convert into pdf file.

@pankajs3

  1. use Save Mail Message Activity to save the mail.

  2. And then open that mail and send Hot key Ctrl+P

  3. Then do save as PDF.

Try with this XAML file which saves emails to "D:\savemails"(create folder as required) and it even creates respective html file. Check and let me know if this helps. saveEmailPDF.xaml (6.1 KB)

This process is creating some extra file like “.eml" and ".html”. but i need only pdf file.

I am not sure of you getting direct way of doing this. You may just need to delete these unwanted files once task is done.

This works well, but the pdf is plain text. Do you have a solution, if the output should be same as a printed email without using GUIs?

@MarkusDS
For that convert Pdf file to Html file then you have html design data format.

Hi Satheesh, i never got it to keep format, but it worked fine with plain text. Is that what you mean?

Hello markus,Kindly provide solution for this…xaml file

Just print the mail to pdf printer, thus effectively converting it to a pdf file.
Open the mail in the Outlook GUI. Then use the menu options (or ctrl-P) to print it. Select a pdf printer, enter the file path and you’re done.
