Convert Email (EML, MSG files) to PDF with PDF.co using Postman

Step 1: Setup Postman

First, open the Postman app and set up the PDF.co Postman Collection. We have an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide.

Step 2: Open PDF from Email Template

Next, click the PDF from Email folder in the PDF.co API v.1.00 collection and open the POST/pdf/convert/from/email to convert PDF from email.

Step 3: Convert From Email Body Content

Now, let’s go over the /pdf/convert/from/email endpoint’s parameters.

• The url param contains the link of the source file.
• The embedAttachments param can be set to true or false. Set this to true to include the attachments in the final output.
• The convertAttachments param can be set to true or false. Set this to true if you want to convert the attachments into PDF format.
• The paperSize param allows you to customize the paper size output.
• The name param allows you to set your desired output file name.
• The async param can be set to true or false. Set this to true to run jobs in background (recommended for heavy documents).
• The encrypt param can be set to true or false. Set this to true to enable encryption for output file.

Since we are done adding all the values, let’s click the Send button to see the result.

Here is the cURL code version.
