# PST to PDF Converter Software

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/773449/PST-to-PDF-Converter-Software

> Choosing a PST to PDF converter looks simple until the first real archive arrives. PST to PDF tools differ in where the mail is processed, whether Outlook has to be present, and how much control you get over what is exported. The checklist below covers the points worth testing, with a plain statement of how PST to PDF Converter Software handles each one.&#10;&#10;🧭 What to check before you buy&#10;- Where is the mail processed? Web converters need an upload, which rules them out for much business mail. This PST to PDF converter is a Windows desktop application. The archive is read and converted on the PC and no message leaves it.&#10;- Does it depend on Outlook? Some tools are add-ins or drive Outlook in the background. Here the data file is parsed by a built-in engine, so Outlook does not have to be on the machine.&#10;- Can you see the archive before exporting? You get a folder tree, a message list with subject, sender, recipient and size, and a preview pane that renders the selected message.&#10;- Can you export part of the file? Yes, in two ways: tick whole folders, or switch the export mode to selected messages and highlight them in the list.&#10;- Can you find things? A search row filters the current folder by Subject, From, To or Body.&#10;- Which file types go in and come out? Input is .pst or .ost. Output is PDF, HTML or TXT.&#10;- What does a finished document look like? It opens with From, Date, To and Subject, followed by the body. HTML mail keeps its layout, and inline images are optional.&#10;- What will it not do? It opens one archive at a time. It does not read MBOX, EML or MSG, does not connect to Exchange or IMAP, has no command line and no Bates numbering, and there is no Mac version.&#10;&#10;🔰 How to use it&#10;1. Start the program and click Open PST, or drag a .pst or .ost file onto the window.&#10;2. Wait for the folder tree, then click through folders to see their messages.&#10;3. Read a few messages in the preview to confirm this is the right archive.&#10;4. Untick the folders you do not need. Use search if you are looking for specific mail.&#10;5. Select PDF, HTML or TXT in the Format list and set the inline images switch.&#10;6. Choose the output folder and begin the export. Progress is shown message by message.&#10;&#10;👥 Who uses it&#10;- Law firms and in-house legal teams that convert PST to PDF for review sets and case files.&#10;- HR departments that document an employment history from archived mail.&#10;- IT service desks that receive data files from offboarded accounts.&#10;- Small businesses and individuals who want to save Outlook emails as PDF for long-term keeping.&#10;&#10;❓ FAQ&#10;What happens with a password-protected PST? If the engine cannot open the file, the program reports an error on screen. It does not fail silently and it does not remove passwords.&#10;Are attachments included in the PDF? Pictures placed inside the message body are embedded when the images option is on. Separate file attachments are not guaranteed to appear inside the PDF, so check this on your own mail during the trial.&#10;Which time zone do dates use? The date in each document is read from the archive and printed in UTC, because the sender's offset is not stored in the data file.&#10;Does the PST to PDF converter work with a mailbox that is still online? No. It reads a saved data file only. Export the mailbox to .pst first, then open that file.&#10;&#10;ℹ️ Free trial: the download needs no registration, and you can run this PST to PDF converter against your own archive to answer the questions above. Runs on Windows 10 and 11. One-time, annual, monthly and business licenses are available.
