2 Do one of the following:
• To convert and merge email messages into a PDF as sequential pages of one document, deselect Output Adobe

Convert an open email message to PDF (Outlook)
❖ Choose Adobe PDF > Convert To Adobe PDF.
You can also convert a different file to PDF from within an open Outlook email message if the Attach As Adobe PDF
toolbar is shown. Clicking this button opens a series of dialog boxes for selecting and saving the new PDF and also starts
Acrobat, if it is not already running. The resulting PDF is attached to the open email message.
Convert email messages to a new PDF
1 In Outlook or Lotus Notes, select the individual email messages.
2 Do one of the following:
• (Outlook) Choose Adobe PDF > Convert Selected Messages > Create New PDF.
• (Lotus Notes) Choose Actions > Convert Selected Messages To Adobe PDF.
3 In the Save Adobe PDF As dialog box, select a location, type a filename, and click Save.
Add email messages or folders to an existing PDF
1 In Outlook or Lotus Notes, select the individual email messages or folders.
2 Do one of the following:
• (Outlook) Choose Adobe PDF > Convert Selected Messages > Append To Existing PDF, or Adobe PDF >
Convert Selected Folders > Append To Existing PDF.
Note: If you have already created one or more PDF Portfolios, you can choose from recently created PDF Portfolios in
addition to the Append To Existing PDF option.
• (Lotus Notes) Choose Actions > Append Selected Message(s) To Existing Adobe PDF, or Actions > Append
Selected Folder(s) To Existing Adobe PDF.
3 Locate and select the PDF or PDF Portfolio to which you want to add the converted emails, and click Open.
Note: Do not type a new name for the PDF. If you do, a warning message appears telling you that the PDF was not found.
Click OK, and select a PDF without changing its name.
