How to Batch Print .EML Files

Printing .EML files can be a very tedious chore. If you are using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird to open individual .eml files and print them, it gets boring fast.  Opening and printing .eml files this way is ok if you only have a few, but what if you have a folder filled with hundreds or thousands of .eml files?

EmlViewer Pro (also known as PstViewer Pro) is a Windows software application that helps you work with email content.

EmlViewer Pro lets you to batch-print any number of selected EML files. Here’s how to do it.

First, start EML Viewer Pro. Using the folder explorer, select the folder containing the .eml emails. The messages will quickly populate the software’s Mail List.

Next, type “Control-A” to select all of the emails in the list.  Selected emails will appear blue.

EML Viewer Pro will start printing your emails. You can go have some coffee while it’s printing. That’s all there is to it.

If you can send .eml files to a printer, can you also batch print .eml files to a PDF file?

Yes, you certainly can! One options would be to tell EML Viewer Pro to print to a virtual PDF printer, such as the free BullZip virtual PDF printer.  Virtual printers may each behave a bit differently, so you should be aware of any peculiarities with your chosen software.

If you want to print multiple .eml files to a single PDF, make sure your virtual printer will support that. Many virtual PDF printers will print separate PDF files, but some will create a single .pdf file. Snaggit is a software tool with a virtual printer that will accept the export of many .eml files and combine them into a single file which can later be converted to PDF.

EML Viewer Procan also prints .eml files directly to PDF files. Here are a couple of articles we wrote earlier specifically about how to print .eml files to PDF files.
