Creating a PDF Package from Mail Items
You can archive selected mail items or an entire folder (with or without its subfolders) into a PDF Package. The version of the generated PDF file is 1.7 and includes a cover page describing the content of the file. The elements of the package are also stored in PDF files. Their PDF version depends on the selection in the Settings dialog box.
