EmlViewer Pro (also known as PstViewer Pro) is a Windows email viewer. You can use it to discover and export .eml emails to to PDF and many other formats.
EmlViewer Pro lets you make your own email export profiles. What is an export profile? Its a pre-set instruction that tells EmlViewer Pro exactly what to do with the emails you have chosen.
Email Export Profiles in EmlViewer Pro
EmlViewer Pro comes with many pre-built export profiles. You’ll find them in the export tab drop down list.

New Email Export Profile Creation
This starts the “New Export Profile” wizard. Just follow along and make the choices that will best fit your project.
EmlViewer Pro gives you many options. If you’re satisfied with the “out of the box” email export options (and many people are), then there’s no need to make profile changes. However, if you think that EmlViewer Pro would be a little bit better if an export profile could do a few more things, then investigating the profile settings could be exactly what you need to get the job done perfectly.

Page Size

A setting for ISO 190005-1 PDF/A is also included in this area; use PDF/A when you want to archive .eml files for long term preservation.

Grouping Exported Files Eml Viewer Pro provides options for grouping and naming the exported files. While exporting to PDF, you can tell EML Viewer Pro to export emails into one large single pdf file, or into separate pdf files.
Grouping category.
Each exported file that EML Viewer Pro creates may be given a name that is based on your custom scheme. For example, you can place parts of the email content into the file name, such as the sender, the date received, or even an incremented number. To customize file naming, click on the expansion button on the “File naming schema” field to open the editor, and arrange the naming plan in the manner that is best suited to your project.
