Eml files are individual email files that have been saved outside of an email client. Thunderbird is a popular client that saves emails as .eml files. For a variety of reasons, it is sometimes convenient to convert .eml files to different formats, such as PDF.

| PDF is well suited for Email storage if you use the correct software. |
When converting eml to pdf, consider how you want to structure your project. Questions you should answer before starting:
How many .Eml files are you working with?
If you have thousands of .eml files, then you will need software that can automate the export.
Do you need to convert .eml files to a single PDF or to individual PDF files?
Sometimes its more convenient to combine the .eml files into a single large PDF file.
How should file attachments be handled?
When converting email to PDF, file attachments are too often an afterthought, when they should be the main focus of the project. Consider whether the file attachments should be placed inside the PDF file as separate files that can be later extracted, or whether they should be combined into the PDF document image, or simply ignored.
