EML to PDF Export: Selecting the PDF Page Format

Screenshot showing toolbar for email conversion software.

EML Viewer Pro is an email viewer for Outlook .eml files that can also bulk convert .eml emails into .pdf files. We received this comment from a reader today, and thought it would be useful to expand our answer into a blog post for everyone:

“In Europe we use A4 paper format. Can EML Viewer Pro support A4 formatting whilst exporting to PDF?”

The answer is yes. EML Viewer Pro does support A4 and many other common ISO page formats. Currently, the following page sizes are supported for PDF export:

  • North American Letter, Note and Legal
  • Eurpoean A0 through A10, including A4
  • B0 through B5
  • Arch A through E
  • Fisa
  • Half Letter
  • Ledger
  • Letter 11×17

If you don’t see your page format in the list above, you can select “Custom” and define your own page formatting.  EML Viewer Pro also supports landscape and portrait printing.

Here is how to set your preferred page formatting while converting EML files to PDF files with EML Viewer Pro.

First start EML Viewer Pro and then select the “Export Profile” that you want to change. In this demonstration I’ll choose “PDF – attachments embedded.”  I do this from main EML Viewer Pro toolbar.

Next, click the “Edit Profile” button, which I have highlighted in yellow in the above image to bring up the “Export Profile Editor.”

I’ve highlighted the fields where you will indicate the desired page size and the landscape mode.  When the changes have been made to your satisfaction, click “OK” to save your settings.

That’s all there is to it!  This export profile will now use A4 or any other page formatting or landscape setting you specified when you export EML files to PDF.

Discover Important Emails with MailDex 2023 Archiver

MailDex software logo

Emails have been piling in your work place for ten, twenty, maybe even thirty years.  Employees come and go.  Jobs come and go.  Our emails contain important information about our lives.  In the old days, people would keep letters in a shoe box.  But what can you do about thousands, or tens of thousands of emails locked in Outlook PST, OST, OLM, EML, MBOX or MSG email files?

MailDex 2023 is the container your emails need to be useful once again.  MailDex scans all of your email content to create a useful index. Search your index to instantly reveal emails that match your search and/or time frame.

MailDex is easy to use.  Simply create a “Project” to contain your emails. You can have as many projects as you need, and each project can contain an unlimited number of emails. Perhaps you want a project called “Personal” and another called “Previous Jobs.”

After you have your project set up, add emails to it!  You can add individual email files, or you can add a folder and all emails in that folder will be indexed.  MailDex 2018 will even search your drive for emails to add to your project.

When emails are added to a project, MailDex 2023 begins indexing in the background.  When indexing is complete, you can start to find the important emails by searching for them.

MailDex 2023 supports two types of search: simple and advanced.

In a Simple Search, type a term or phrase into the search field.  MailDex 2023 will instantly return results matching your search.

For an Advanced Search, MailDex 2023 lets you add criteria and even a range of dates.
