    One workaround is to use third-party PDF virtual drivers to print and save email as PDF from Outlook. However, it involves multiple steps and can be an overhead when printing many emails to PDFs. Besides, you don’t have much control over the output. For instance, it can’t combine multiple emails and attachments to produce one long PDF file.

    Another workaround is using Adobe Acrobat plug-in, to save email as PDF from Outlook. But you will need to purchase or subscribe to the whole Acrobat software eco-system. In other words, an expensive investment for many users.

    With today’s use of e-mail you almost can’t afford to lose a single e-mail so let alone your entire mail archive, Calendar items and Contacts.

    This guide is all about backing up and restoring your Outlook Data. It describes various methods and explains which method is best to be used in which scenario.

    When you use a POP3 account, all your Outlook data (emails, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes) is stored locally on your PC inside a pst-file.

    • Your recommended backup strategy is to regularly make a copy of your pst-file to your backup location when Outlook is closed.
    • Your recommended restore strategy is to rename the current pst-file (if still available) and then restore the pst-file from your backup location to its original location.

     

  Backup and restore IMAP data

  When you use an IMAP account, your Outlook data is either stored in a pst-file, an ost-file or a combination thereof. This can make it somewhat complex to properly backup both your emails and other data such as Contacts, Calendar and Tasks for IMAP accounts.

  Your emails and email folders are stored on the IMAP server and are synched with Outlook which stores them in a local cache file on your computer.

  • Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010
    Your mail cache is stored inside a pst-file.
  • Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2019, Outlook 2021, and Office 365
    Your mail cache is stored inside an ost-file.

  You can lookup the location and name of the pst- or ost-file as explained in the section: Managing pst-files.

  Your other data (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes) are not stored on and synched with the IMAP mail server as the IMAP protocol only supports synching emails.Summary: There is no direct way to save emails in PDF format in Outlook.
