Hi Arvind,

If you want to convert email message to PDF with attachments, you will have to first extract attachments from email messages using Aspose.Email and then add attachments to PDF using Aspose.Pdf after converting email message to PDF.

Hi

Thank u for ur reply,actually your code work same as my code.i dont want like that.

Actually msg file have 2 attachment(bookmarkoutput and Bike pdf) after convert msg need to embed 2 attachment with msg file,But currently what u did,u just download attachment file separately ,only main msg file only converted into pdf.

My need is need embed attachment file with msg pdf file(i.e FW.pdf)

Just check in GroupDoc viewer,i think GroupDoc viewer is ur venture,just upload msg file and see ,how it show msg file and following its attachment in pdf.

Note: We already try gropdoc viewer,that viewer only create png and js file form pdf ,So that pdf have msg and its 2 attachments.

Example:Take ur code

’open document<o:p></o:p>

Dim pdfDocument As New Aspose.Pdf.Document(myDir + “Untitled.pdf”)<o:p></o:p>

For Each fileName As String In attFileName<o:p></o:p>

'setup new file to be added as attachment<o:p></o:p>

Dim fileSpecification As New FileSpecification(fileName, “Sample text file”)<o:p></o:p>

'add attachment to document’s attachment collection<o:p></o:p>

pdfDocument.EmbeddedFiles.Add(fileSpecification)<o:p></o:p>

Next<o:p></o:p>

'save new output<o:p></o:p>

pdfDocument.Save(myDir + “FW.pdf”)

Here Untitled.pdf is main msg content(like subject,attachment,Best Regards ect) and fileName is attachment(bookmarkoutput and Bike pdf) and u embedded with Untitled.pdf file and finally u get FW.pdf.But if open FW.pdf only can see msg content,cant see bookmarkoutput and Bike content.

Why after embedded attachment file with msg file cant view the all content.

Hi Aravind,

Thanks for sharing additional information about your requirements. To accomplish your requirement you need to use concatenation feature, concatenate PDF file attachments to main MSG contents. Please check following documentation link for the details, it will help to fulfill your requirements.

Moreover, please note if your attachment file format is other than PDF then you have to convert it to PDF file format first, using related Aspose API before concatenation process.

Concatenate PDF files.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Hi

Thank u for ur reply,now it work with concatenate method,But what the different embedded and concatenate ,both are combined one pdf to another pdf file.Why Embedded not work ? what purpose use embedded ?

Hi Aravind,

Thank for your feedback. It is good to know that you have managed to accomplish the task. Please note EmbeddedFiles method embed actual file(text/images/PDF/DOC/XLS/…etc) of any format to PDF as attachment in PDF file resources. Whereas concatenation process merges pages of source PDF file to Parent PDF file. Hopefully it will clear the difference in both features.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

I can see that I can use Aspose to convert .msg. can it also convert .eml to PDF through a VB.net API?

Hi Steven,

The MailMessage class can be used to load MSG as well as EML file formats. Thus, you can use it to convert the EML to PDF as well as shown in the following code sample.

Code:

Dim mailMsg As MailMessage = MailMessage.Load(“About Aspose-1.eml”, New EmlLoadOptions())

Dim ms As New MemoryStream()

'Save as MHTML

mailMsg.Save(ms, Aspose.Email.Mail.SaveOptions.DefaultMhtml)

'create an instance of LoadOptions and set the LoadFormat to Mhtml

Dim loadOptions = New Aspose.Words.LoadOptions()

loadOptions.LoadFormat = Aspose.Words.LoadFormat.Mhtml

’create an instance of Document and load the MTHML from MemoryStream

Dim document = New Aspose.Words.Document(ms, loadOptions)

'create an instance of HtmlSaveOptions and set the SaveFormat to Html

Dim saveOptions = New Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfSaveOptions()

'save the document to Html file

document.Save(“About Aspose.pdf”, saveOptions)
