Why convert an EML email to PDF?

The EML file format is used by most email programs to store and migrate mail. However, while the EML format is common, you can only open the .eml file with an appropriate program.

Adobe PDF is a universal and secure file format. PDF is independent of device, operating system, and applications. After PDF conversion, you can view your EML emails in Adobe PDF viewers or in most internet browsers. This is a convenient way of additional email backups or documents exchange: PDF files can be viewed and printed anywhere without using email applications.

The reasons for EML2PDF email conversion:

1. Compatibility. PDF is a convenient format for viewing and printing documents on any device. After conversion, it retains the original formatting of the message, with pictures and attachments.
2. Cross-platform. PDF documents can be shared across different platforms. PDF viewers and printers are available on all modern devices, including smartphones. When sending a message in PDF format, the recipient can open, read, and print it.
3. Images and formatting. Images in email messages are often links to external Internet resources. If the resource is no longer available, the external images disappear. When converting from EML to PDF, external images are downloaded into messages as the original. The source formatting also remains unchanged.
4. Safety. The PDF format allows you to set a password and electronic signature for each file, protecting the content. The EML format does not provide such options.
5. Compliance requirements. Often, regulatory or corporate policy sets specified limits for email storage. When the limits are exceeded, you can no longer receive new mail, and the old messages may be deleted. Converting messages to individual PDF files is a great alternative to working with extensive email archives in EML format.
6. Legislative requirements. Correspondence in PDF format satisfies all the modern needs for legal admissibility and is used as legal documents.
