Saving e-mails in .pdf format


Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing two dimensional documents in a device independent and resolution independent format. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2D document (and, with the advent of Acrobat 3D, embedded 3D documents) that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics that compose the document. Importantly, PDF files don't encode information that is specific to the application software, hardware, or operating system used to create or view the document. This feature ensures that a valid PDF will render exactly the same regardless of its origin or destination. PDF is also an open standard in the sense that anyone may create applications that read and write PDF files without having to pay royalties to Adobe Systems. PDF files are most appropriately used to encode the exact look of a document in a device-independent way. While the PDF format can describe very simple one page documents, it may also be used for many page, complex documents that use a variety of different fonts, graphics, colors, and images. Readers for many platforms are available, both free (such as Xpdf) and proprietary (such as Adobe Reader) and front-ends for many platforms to Ghostscript.
When you use this option you will see a button in your inbox and your outbox offering the possibility to download the emails in the desired format.
