EMAILPDFS / CONVERSION GUIDE
Convert emails to PDF with reviewed attachments
“Attachments included” can mean rendered pages, embedded original files or a list of filenames. EmailPDFs asks you to review each attachment’s disposition. Supported renditions can appear after their email; unsupported files require original-only treatment or explicit exclusion.
What happens to each attachment?
| Item | Supported treatment | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Supported raster images | Render as PDF pages, retain original-only, or exclude. | Plan byte/page limits and safe decoder checks apply. |
| Supported PDF files | Render safe raster pages, retain original-only, or exclude. | Derived pages lose searchable attachment text, active links, forms and signatures. They are not the original signed PDF. |
| Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV and other unsupported files | Retain original-only with originals included, or explicitly exclude. | No Office-to-PDF conversion, spreadsheet execution or OCR. |
| Attached EML/MSG or an RTF-only message | Original-only or explicit exclusion. | No recursive email attachment conversion or RTF body rendering. |
An example of an explicit exclusion
The kickoff sample’s second email has checklist.csv. Its contents are not converted into PDF pages. Choose Exclude and the exceptions report records that decision; the combined pack still contains both reviewed email bodies and its index. Inspect the actual example ZIP and reports.
When should I include originals?
If a recipient needs the unsupported file itself, choose Original only and turn on Include unmodified originals in delivery settings. Originals are off by default and can retain Bcc, metadata, scripts/macros and other unsafe contents. Keep your own originals; the temporary service is not a malware-free archive.
Unresolved attachment decisions block export. Do not treat a readable PDF rendition as proof that the original attachment’s signature or authenticity has been preserved.
Start with EML files or ordinary Outlook MSG mail.
