How To Convert PST to PDF

 

MS Outlook is chosen by millions of organizations and individuals globally. It uses its proprietary format — PST — to store messages and diverse attached data like journals or calendars. However, unlike other apps from the MS Office package, it does not save data as PDFs.

Many users need to turn their emails into these files at least occasionally. After all, it is one of the most common document formats that may be opened on many platforms. There is more than one way to approach PST to PDF transition. This article will show you the most efficient methods to get the job done. Convert PST to PDF without hassle — it is not rocket science.

Why Convert PST to PDF?

First, PDF is a very convenient format. It has a number of obvious advantages. Specifically, users prefer to store emails as PDF files because:
  • they are easy to store and access;
  • they may be encrypted and protected with a password;
  • they are easier to move than Outlook PST files that are not portable by nature;
  • users who do not have Outlook on their devices can still view them;
  • conversion is a convenient way to save emails before retiring or prepare evidence for a legal investigation.

This does not mean Outlook PST has no benefits. First, it allows you to keep all of your correspondence in one place. You can access it whenever necessary.

On the downside, this format is platform-dependent: it is only recognized by the program that created it — i.e., Outlook. Conversion makes data easier to manage. Unfortunately, while other MS Office apps allow you to generate PDFs automatically, the mail client does not.

Manual methods exist, but they are extremely time-consuming and laborious. If you have only a little data to convert, try our free convert PST to PDF online service. Just upload the source file to the site, choose your output preferences, and download the result upon completion. This method works for modest amounts of data, but what if you have hundreds of emails, and all of them are valuable?
