How to Upload Emails to Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Cloud
Question details
The user wants to know how to upload email messages or their attachments to Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Document Cloud for storage and management.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Archiving or editing email communications and their respective attachments using Adobe's PDF tools and cloud storage.
- Observed behavior
- Emails cannot be uploaded directly; they must first be converted into a compatible format like PDF or downloaded as local attachment files before uploading.
Determine whether you need to save the actual text body of the email message or just the files attached to it, as the processes for handling the message and the attachments are different.
Convert the Email to PDF and Upload to Adobe Acrobat
Since Adobe Acrobat works primarily with PDF files, the best approach is to print or export your email message as a PDF before uploading it to the cloud.
Most modern email clients do not support direct export to Adobe Cloud. However, you can use the built-in system print functionality to create a PDF of the email body.
Log in to your email application (such as Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail) and open the specific email you wish to upload.
Locate the 'Print' button. In Gmail, this is typically a printer icon in the top right corner of the email. In Outlook, you can find it by clicking 'File' and then 'Print'.
In the print dialog box, change the printer destination to 'Save as PDF' or 'Microsoft Print to PDF'. Click 'Save' and choose a location on your computer.
Launch Adobe Acrobat or log into Adobe Document Cloud in your browser. Click 'Add Files' or 'Upload', navigate to the PDF you just saved, and select it to complete the upload.
Download and Upload Email Attachments
If you only need the files attached to the email, you bypass printing and simply download the attachments to add them to your Adobe workspace.
Convert, Edit, and Store PDFs with WPS Office
WPS Office provides a highly capable, lightweight PDF editor that allows you to easily convert, merge, annotate, and save emails as PDFs. With built-in WPS Cloud storage, it is an excellent alternative for all your document management needs.
- 1. Save email as PDF: Use your email provider's 'Print to PDF' feature to save the email message to your computer.
- 2. Open with WPS Office: Launch WPS Office, click on 'Open', and select the newly saved PDF file.
- 3. Edit and Annotate: Use the WPS PDF tools to highlight text, add comments, or merge the email with other relevant documents.
- 4. Save to WPS Cloud: Click 'Save As' and select 'WPS Cloud' to securely store your email PDF and access it from any device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I automatically forward an email to Adobe Document Cloud?
No, Adobe Document Cloud currently does not support an email-to-cloud forwarding address. You must manually convert the email to a PDF or download its attachments to your local device before uploading.
Why can't I upload an .eml or .msg file directly to Adobe Acrobat?
Adobe Acrobat is optimized for handling PDF documents and standard image/text formats. Email formats like .eml and .msg are proprietary to email clients and usually require conversion to PDF before Acrobat can properly display or store them.
How do I save an Outlook email as a PDF on my phone?
Open the Outlook app, tap the email you want to save, and tap the three-dot menu icon. Select 'Print', and when the print preview appears, use the system options (such as the share button on iOS or 'Save as PDF' on Android) to export the email as a PDF file.
