Converting Outlook mails to PDF is very unreliable

I recently bought Acrobat XI Pro in order to archive my large Outlook mailbox.
Problem is, it works alright for single mails or small folders with <200 mails.
If I try to select all folders I am interested in and set this up using the Selected Folders option in the PDF ribbon, it gives me a message, that these are lots of mails (~6000) and might take a while.
When I click OK it starts, but after a few minutes either the progress bar simply disappears and nothing has happened, or Outlook restarts.
Also I noted, that with the progress bar still running there is almost no activity in the task manager, as if nothing is happening.
Any ideas? Is there a good and a wrong way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!

Cant' convert outlook messages to pdf

I am trying to convert outlook messages to pdf. The first message converts fine. Every subsequent message fails to convert. The progress bar starts and then quickly disappears. I have to close and open outlook to convert messages to pdf messages again. I am using Acrobat Standard 7 and Outlook 2003 on windows xp.

Hi TisaMarisa,
The PDFMaker may have been disable in your Outlook.
To enable it open Outlook.
Click on > Tools > Trust Center
Choose Add-Ins in the list on the left side of the Trust Center window. Choose Disabled Items in the Manage pop-up menu at the bottom of the Trust Center window. Click Go.
Look in the Disabled Items list for Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In.
If Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-In is in the list, then select it, click Enable, and click Close. Then close and reopen the Office 2007 application.
Hope this will resolve your issue.

Adobe Acrobat X - convert outlook email to pdf and include attachments as pdf

Is there a way to save an Outlook email as a PDF and include attachments as extra pages within the same PDF? I know I can convert an email to PDF and it will include the attachments as links. My end users feel that their clients won't understand the link feature, and/or the paper clip on the side pane. They'd rather convert an email and have it's attachments converted also, making the pdf an email message + converted attachments....all in one process. The only way currently is to open each attachment and convert them individially, then combine the email pdf and attachment pdf together. Too many steps involveed there.
make sense?
Thanks,
Jon Wooten

Same question here, but for Lotus Notes!! Seems ridiculously simple.

Acrobat X Pro converting Outlook Folders to PDF

I'm having an issue (Or more specifically one of my users is.)
He has a process flow of exporting EMail folders to PDF when he is done with a related project.
This keeps his mailbox small and his projects easy to reference.
Recently when he tries to convert a folder to a PDF it seems to succeed.
All of the e-mails are readable, but it breaking/corrupting attached documents where it used to neatly embed them into the relevant PDFs.
They still show up with the correct names and file extensions, they still show that the PDF has an attachment.
When we attempt to open it however the documents don't work with what ever their native program may have been.
(Usually blueprints or the like.)
He accesses Outlook and Acobat Pro through a Citrix farm.
Is there any settings or permissions I should be looking at to ensure this works correctly for him?
I haven't been able to find the root cause.
Thanks in advance,

How are you creating your PDF from Excel? Are you using the PDFMaker macro or the Adobe PDF printer?

No attachments when converting Outlook email to pdf

I am using Outlook 2010 and Adobe X Pro. When I try to convert an email message to a pdf it does not include the attachment. (In the setting for conversion I have "Include all attchments in the Adobe PDF" selected.)

It could also be the transparency grid, which you control through the following user preference: Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Page Content and Information > Show transparency grid

Converting .docx merges to PDF is very slow.

Hi all first post, so hello!
As the thread question states, I am trying to figure out creating PDFs from docx merges are very very slow to complete. We are using Adobe Acrobat 8, and Microsoft Word 2007 on Windows XP.
Before we upgraded to MS Office 2007 and the docx format, Acrobat 8 created PDF merges in the the 2003 .doc format just fine and was very quick. We can even created PDFs from .doc merges through Office 2007 and it is still works great and is super fast. But once we try a creating a PDF from a .docx merge, it crawls and is very slow, and is starting to be time consuming for the users. I checked out the 3-4 people that perform this function, and they all seem to have the same issue. So i would guess this would have something to do with the .docx format and the way Adobe 8 interprets the format to create a PDF from it. The documents normally fall within the 1200-1500 page range.
Acrobat 8 has been updated with the latest program updates, but I am a loss as to why .doc's create so fast, but docx's are very very slow.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I tried to include all pertinent info you would need, if I left something out, please let me know.
Thanks!

Converting Outlook to Mail

Has anyone successfully converted MS Outlook mail to Apple Mail. If so, how?

Greetings,
Yes, you can convert Outlook mail to the format used by Mail. The easiest way is to use Outlook2Mail, though it costs $10, and your timestamps on the mail may change (I've never used it so I can't say for certain).

Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

Good day,
I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Converting Outlook 2007 email to PDF; Have to reboot PC to convert multiple times

I have an end user who converts multiple emails to PDF for filing purposes. Adobe converts multiple emails in a portfolio style. Email can be seen as in a file at the top and seen seperately ebelow. After 2-3 times Adobe won't convert to portfolio format, won't give error message, but will convert all selected email as one large PDF. Until user reboots machine, portfolios can't be created. Tried on two different machines same issue. Using Adobe 9 Pro and Outlook 2007.

Is Acrobat updated to 9.5.2? What SP do you have installed for Office 2007? What version of Windows (with SP) is running on these computers?

Convert Binary Data into Pdf & send it as attachment in a mail in Workflow

Hi,
Scenario:
The interactive form saved in WebDynpro Application is sent to R/3 in binary format. It has to be converted into pdf and sent it as an attachment in mail to the respective person in workflow.
Kindly help on these issues :
1. How to receive the binary data in R/3 sent by the WebDynpro Application ?
To my knowledge we can receive the binary in XSTRING data type. Plz correct me if am wrong.
2. How do i convert the received binary data into pdf ?
Thanks,
Bharath Kaushik

Hi Bharath,
I think you should try to write dat being sent to R/3 to spool first, as in R/3 there is FM <i>CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF</i> , with the help of which you will be able to convert Binary data to PDF format.
Pls find one of the threads related to this , and see if this is useful to you.
Problem in CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
Hope this atleast helps to start off.
Regds,
Akshay Bhagwat
PS: Some points would be nice if it helps:)

Convert mac mail to outlook

How can I convert my email on Mac to .pst format?

Tks

If you're planning to use Outlook for Mac 2011 then you can import your Apple Mail messages into Outlook. No need to convert to pst. See OfficeforMacHelp.com's article, "Import Apple Mail, iCal, or Address Book Items."
If you're planning to use Outlook for Windows, search online for "convert Apple Mail to pst."
