        # Converts Outlook .msg files to PDF
        
        `msgtopdf` is a Python 3 module to convert Outlook `.msg` files to PDF and extract the attachments.  Unlike the majority of current modules `msgtopdf` maintains the formatting of HTML and RTF messages and embeds any inline images in the PDF output.
        
        As the module uses the `win32com` library the host machine must have Outlook installed.
        
        `msgtopdf` uses the [wkhtmltopdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) tool to convert the HTML message to PDF and [wkhtmltopdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) must be installed separately.
        
        Currently `msgtopdf` extracts the message body and attachments to a new subfolder using the subject of the email as the folder name.

            msg2pdf converts Outlook email messages (msg) to pdf.
        
            The output is a folder for each email using the email subject as the
            folder name including a pdf of the email and all attachments.
        
            Inline images are included in the email pdf.
        
            Options:
                -f, --file       Convert an individual file PATH to pdf.
                -d, --directory  Convert all msg files in directory PATH to pdf.
                --help           Show this message and exit.
