Five Ways To Convert Emails With Attachments to PDF

 

When it comes to emails, the message body is often only half of what's being shared. Oftentimes, emails include attachments as well. Part of what sets the Total Mail Converter Pro apart from other converters is its ability to work with email attachments. To that end we've included a variety of features that let you choose how to handle email attachments at the time of conversion. Once you've decided which email message to work with, you can tell the Total Mail Converter Pro how to handle any associated attachments.

Quick answer: To convert emails with attachments, open Total Mail Converter Pro, select the messages, click the PDF button, and in the Attachments options choose how to handle files: convert them together with the email body into one PDF, link them, save them separately, or unpack zipped attachments. You control exactly how each attachment is processed in one batch.

You may want to keep attached files in their original file types, insert them as aclickable link to your PDFs or place both email and attached files into one multi-page PDF document. We will show you the 5 most common cases:

  • Converting an email and attachment into one file
  • Convert an email with attachments to PDF and link attachments
  • Convert an email with attachments to PDF and save attachments
  • Unpack zipped attachments and save in a separate file
  • Process multiple emails into one PDF

Total Mail Converter Pro Customer Reviews 2026

Rated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews
5 Star

"Some of our archived emails need attachments embedded in the PDF and others need them saved as separate files entirely. Total Mail Converter Pro lets us pick the attachment handling method per batch, and having five different options in one tool means we never need a second program for edge cases."

5 Star Thaddeus Groves Records Manager, Groves Municipal Archives

"Our discovery productions require attachments to stay linked to the parent email rather than floating as loose files. Total Mail Converter Pro's attachment options let us choose linking instead of embedding, and converting a full batch of MSG files this way used to require two separate tools."

5 Star Camille Dupuis Legal Operations Coordinator, Dupuis & Renaud

"We needed patient email attachments saved out separately from the message body for our records system. Total Mail Converter Pro handles this cleanly across a whole batch, though it took reading through all five attachment options before landing on the one that matched our compliance requirements."

4 Star Elliot Marsh IT Coordinator, Marsh Regional Clinic
