How to save mailbox folder as pdf in "new" outlook

Maikel 0

Hi there,

I've converted my email to the "new" Outlook. In the old Outlook, I could save an entire folder as an Adobe PDF (see image below). This option has disappeared in the new version of Outlook. Is there another way to do this?

look forward to receiving a response!

The two options at the end of your folder right-click menu were added by the Adobe Add-In for Classic Outlook. They are not part of standard Classic Outlook which looks like this:

As far as I can tell, the Adobe Acrobat for Microsoft Outlook (New Outlook) does not include the "Convert Folder to PDF". But it does seem to offer some of the other features from the Classic Outlook Add-In

That option came from the Adobe add-in for classic Outlook, and the new Outlook version of the add-in doesn’t have it, so for a whole folder switching back to classic is the only quick way right now. Do you need the attachments in the PDF too?

Hello @Maikel, Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we completely understand how important this feature is for your workflow.

Based on your description, it appears that the option to save a mailbox subfolder as a PDF is not available in the New Outlook, whereas it was available in Classic Outlook. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially if you rely on this functionality for archiving or sharing important communications.

Please note that the New Outlook experience is still evolving, and certain features from Classic Outlook may not yet be implemented. Your feedback is extremely valuable in helping us prioritize improvements. We strongly recommend submitting your suggestion through Outlook · Community, as these are official platforms where the product team reviews user input and considers it for future updates.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding. We truly value your input and are committed to improving your experience. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
