Quickly learn how to use Document Exporter addin in Outlook and generate PDF/XPS/DOC/MHT documents from your emails!

 

Why another add-in?
Microsoft Office 2007 applications can now save documents to PDF/XPS by downloading and installing the FREE 'Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS Add-in for 2007 Microsoft Office programs'. Unfortunately, Microsoft Outlook 2007 is not one of the application in the Office suite that can leverage this widely used document formats. So, as usual, most of us has to either rely on Adobe Acrobat plugin for Outlook (which means, you will have to buy it) or, simply copy-paste the content of the email to Microsoft Word and convert to PDF/XPS. Document Exporter is designed to bridge this gap by bringing the PDF/XPS supports in Outlook 2007.

 

How does it work?
Internally, Document Exporter makes use of Microsoft Word 2007 to perform all the processing/export and hence, you are able to save emails to PDF and XPS plus other popular formats such as DOC, MHT and filtered web friendly HTML. The use of Microsoft Word is totally transparent to the user and is thread safe i.e., your current opened documents in Microsoft Word are not affected.

Document Exporter supports the following two mode of operation: single and batch processing. The output document format available in the 'Attach and Forward' and "Export' menus depend on the number of selected items in the current Outlook folder. For example:

  i) If a single mail (or post) item is selected, the drop downs will have the following options:
 

   
  ii) If multiple mails (or post) items are selected, the drop downs will have the following options:
 

 

You choose one of this menu option to export each item (mail or post) in the selection to the corresponding document file. The 'Batch Export' dialog enables you to specify the destination folder where all the document files would be saved. You also have the option to choose what file title the generated documents would take - either a defined generic name or a use the subject of the Outlook item.
 

 

Choose any one of this option if all you want is to merge all the selected mail (or post) items to a single document. You will be prompted to specify a filename and the folder location to save the document.

 

 
Control over the generated documents
Finally, with version 2, you can now define the orientation - landscape or portrait, as well as choose between the following paper size for the generated documents:
   
bullet Letter
bullet Tabloid
bullet Ledger
bullet Legal
bullet Executive
bullet A3
bullet A4
bullet 11 x 17
