In this easy tutorial, we will learn how to convert Outlook Email to PDF using Python along with detailed steps to configure the environment. You will see that in order to convert MSG to PDF Python based API can be used and you can use this example in any of the commonly available operating systems like Windows or Linux.

Steps to Convert Outlook Email to PDF using Python

1. Establish the environment to use Aspose.Email for Python via .NET and Aspose.Words for Python via .NET in your application to convert Email to PDF in Python
2. Create an instance of the MailMessage class object to load the source EML or MSG file from the disk or mail server
3. Save the Email (MSG/EML) file to a memory stream in an intermediate MHTML format
4. Use the LoadFormat as MHTML and create an object of the Document class to load the intermediate format MHTML memory stream
5. By using the save method in Python perform the EML to PDF conversion

By using the above steps in Python MSG to PDF conversion application is developed where we will first access the EML or MSG file from the disk using the MailMessage class object, which is then followed by saving the email to a memory stream in an intermediate MHTML file format. In the subsequent steps, we will access the intermediate MHTML file using the Document class object and finally to convert EML to PDF Python save method will be used.
