How to Use Jagware PST to PDF Wizard for Fast Email Conversion

1. Install and launch

1. Download the Jagware PST to PDF Wizard installer for Windows from Jagware’s site.
2. Run the installer and follow prompts (Accept license → Choose install folder → Finish).
3. Launch the program.

2. Add PST file(s)

1. Click Add File(s) or Add Folder.
2. Browse to and select the PST file(s) you want to convert.
3. The tool will list detected mailboxes and folders.

3. Select folders and items

1. Expand the mailbox tree and check the folders to convert (Inbox, Sent, etc.).
2. Optionally use preview (if available) to verify emails and attachments.

4. Choose output settings

1. Set Output Format to PDF.
2. Choose single PDF per mailbox or one PDF per folder/message (tool options vary).
3. Configure naming convention and destination folder.
4. Enable or disable embedding attachments into PDFs (if offered).
5. Set page layout options (paper size, orientation) and apply header/footer or watermark if needed.

5. Filter and conversion options

1. Apply date range filters or sender/subject filters if supported to limit items.
2. Choose whether to include email headers/metadata in the PDF.
3. Enable recovery options if converting from a corrupted PST (if the utility offers them).

6. Start conversion

1. Click Convert, Export, or Start.
2. Monitor progress; large PSTs may take time.
3. After completion, open the output folder to verify PDFs.

7. Verify results

• Open several converted PDFs to confirm email body, attachments, and metadata are preserved.
• If attachments were embedded, ensure they open from the PDF; if saved separately, confirm their filenames and links.

8. Troubleshooting tips

• If a PST won’t load, run Outlook’s ScanPST to repair it first.
• Run the app as Administrator if access/permission errors occur.
• For very large PSTs, split the file into smaller PSTs or convert in batches.
• Check available disk space for output files.

9. Automation and batch use

• Use “Add Folder” or batch mode to convert multiple PSTs at once.
• Save export profiles or settings (if the tool supports profiles) to reuse configurations.

10. Security and cleanup

• Delete temporary files created during conversion.
• Store converted PDFs and any extracted attachments securely, especially if they contain sensitive data.
