While working in Microsoft Outlook, you can create PDF files:

• From non-PDF file attachments in mail messages, to save on the local computer.
• From non-PDF files on your local computer, to attach to the current mail message.
• From one or more mail items, to save as an archive file on the local computer.

The focus of this topic is primarily archiving mail, and it provides useful links to related archiving topics.

Power PDF provides add-ins for Outlook to create PDF files from selected mail items or entire folders. The features are accessible from the Kofax PDF tab when you open Outlook, or from an open Outlook message window.

The Kofax PDF tab in Microsoft Outlook offers the following tools.

Icon	Description
	Convert PDF: Starts a conversion of PDF or XPS attachments with the settings specified in the PDF Conversion settings tab on the Settings dialog box.
	Archive folder: Archive the currently selected mail folder in the main window to a set of PDF files. This tool is available only in the Outlook main window. See About archiving.
	Archive mail: Archive the currently selected items to a set of PDF files. See About archiving.
	Create PDF from attachments: Create PDF files from attachments of supported file types. This tool is available in the Outlook main window toolbar only, becomes active only if the current message has at least one attachment of a file type suitable for conversion to PDF. See Creating PDF files from mail attachments.
	Attach file to mail as PDF: Convert a local file to PDF and attach it to an outgoing mail or reply. You must select a mail message to use this option.
