If you need to send emails off for a legal review, to meet some sort of compliance requirement, or just to archive them for safekeeping, go with the single PDF option, which lets you join multiple emails together into one single, continuous document as opposed to making a separate PDF file for every single email.

The problem is, though, OLM just isn&#8217;t as easy to work with as a PDF when you need to share those emails with people who don&#8217;t have access to your original Outlook mailbox.

For better organization, the team created separate PDFs for different folders and date ranges rather than producing one extremely large document.<br \/>This approach made the email collection easier to <strong>search<\/strong>, <strong>share<\/strong>, and <strong>review<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By the end of this blog post, to convert OLM to PDF on Mac, Users can either manually save individual emails as PDFs, which isn&#8217;t a terrible way to go if you only need to do a few, but when it comes to thousands of emails, it gets pretty tricky. For big archives, a dedicated OLM converter really is the way to go. It makes bulk processing easy as pie: it can take multiple messages and export them all into a single PDF in a few easy clicks. The most sensible way to do it all is to back up the OLM first, take a look at what you&#8217;ve got, run a sample conversion to check it all works ok, have a squint at the PDF, and after all that, do the whole lot.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><h4 class=\"faq_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1788342361758\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q1. Does the OLM to PDF Converter preserve the original date and time of emails?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes. The software preserves the available original email date and time information during the OLM to PDF conversion.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1788342400446\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q2.

If individual export is selected, each email can be saved as a separate PDF.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1788342457135\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q6. Is the OLM to PDF conversion performed locally?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes.
