How to Convert EML Files to PDF Format in a Simple Way

EML is a file extension that is basically used for storing emails. It is supported by a number of email clients such as Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, Outlook Express etc. The EML file stores content of the message including attachments, which are sent by the sender. Apart from all this, EML files are mainly stored in the plain text format. In Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird, a user can get .eml file very easily simply by dragging the email and saving it any location.

On the other hand, PDF stands for Portable Document Format. This is a standard file format that is mainly used to store and exchange of data mainly over the internet. However, it is an independent file format, so a user can easily access it anywhere without any dependency. Moreover, PDF is recognized as a compatible, simple and secured format for document storage. However, if a user wants to access the EML files without any email application, then he can convert it to PDF file format and access it anywhere.

  • 2. PDF format guarantees better security than EML format. EML files are vulnerable to any misuse and unauthorized access. On the other hand, PDF prohibits any kind of unapproved access. A user can set any password also to protect their important data. Moreover, one can apply some restriction also to prevent users from making changes to the data. Hence, for the security purpose also, conversion of EML files to PDF is necessary.
  • 3. PDF document is considered legally admissible in court because of its security. To use the emails stored in EML format as forensic evidence, legal document and business report, conversion of EML to PDF is necessary.
