Why does formatting change when saving MSG emails as PDF?

I converted a few Outlook MSG emails into PDF manually, but the output did not look the same. Some signatures, tables, images, and spacing changed after conversion. These emails are needed for official records, so the final PDF should look clean and complete. I have many MSG files and cannot check every email manually after export. What method can help convert MSG to PDF without disturbing the original formatting too much?

    Formatting usually changes when MSG emails are opened and printed manually because Outlook, printer settings, page size, fonts, or image loading can affect the final PDF. This becomes risky when emails have tables, signatures, logos, or inline images.

    For many MSG files, it is better to use a proper MSG to PDF conversion method instead of printing each email one by one. TrustVare MSG to PDF Converter can be a useful option here because it converts single or multiple MSG files to PDF and keeps email body, hyperlinks, date, time, and attachments in readable form.

    A few tips:

    1. Keep a backup of original MSG files.
      1. Test 5 to 10 sample emails first.
      2. Use Folder Mode for batch conversion.
      3. Save output in a separate folder.

    For official records, always review some PDFs before final submission.
