Email messages to PDF

Please advise as of how can we use Aspose to print email (Outlook) messages (The main message, not the attachments).

Correction: by “print” I meant “convert to PDF”.

Dear Manuel,

Aspose.Network deals with viewing and converting etc. Outlook email messages. That's why, i have moved your inquiry here so that Aspose.Network team can share their comments about it.

Have a good time.

Hi Manuel,

There is no direct method of printing .msg file to pdf, but you can use the following code create a pdf document from the msg file. This code uses Aspose.Network and Aspose.Pdf libraries.

You can modify the code to include other details if required.

public string strOutlookFile = "c:\\outlook.msg";

public string strPdfFile = "c:\\outlook.pdf";

// load the message

MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load(strOutlookFile, MessageFormat.Msg);

// create the header and body

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.AppendLine("From:\t\t" + mail.From.ToString());

sb.AppendLine("Sent:\t\t" + mail.Date.ToLongDateString() + " " + mail.Date.ToLongTimeString());

sb.AppendLine("To:\t\t" + mail.To.ToString());

if (mail.CC.Count >= 0)

sb.AppendLine("Cc:\t\t" + mail.CC.ToString());

sb.AppendLine("Subject:\t" + mail.Subject);

sb.AppendLine(); sb.AppendLine(); sb.AppendLine(); sb.AppendLine();

// create pdf doc

Aspose.Pdf.Pdf pdf1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Pdf();

Aspose.Pdf.Section sec1 = pdf1.Sections.Add();

// create text paragraph

Aspose.Pdf.Text text = new Aspose.Pdf.Text(sb.ToString() + mail.TextBody);

// save pdf file

sec1.Paragraphs.Add(text);

pdf1.Save(strPdfFile);
