When viewing .pst files or .msg email messages without Microsoft Outlook, Pst Viewer Pro can’t be beat.  Pst Viewer Pro has many features that make it a great tool not only for opening Outlook emails, but processing them in various ways.  One of its powerful features is export profiles. Export profiles are instruction sets that can be customized in many ways to create specific solutions that help you get your email processing work done faster.

When ever you select an email message and then choose a target format from the drop down list, you are interacting with export profiles.  For example, go to Pst Viewer Pro’s “Export” tab, and choose “Single PDF – attachments converted/included.”

“Single PDF” is in fact an export profile. You can customize this particular export profile, or any of the others that appear in the list.  You can also create your own by selecting “New Profile.”

Let’s see what options we have to modify the “Single PDF” profile we have selected.  Click “Edit Profile” and the profile editor screen will appear.  In the animated .gif below, we walk you through the various options that are available to customize this profile.

Pst Viewer Pro’s Profile Editor

For this profile, it’s possible to change the export format from PDF to GIF, TIF, PNG, or any of the other target formats that are pre-built into Pst Viewer Pro.

You can indicate a custom page size and ortientation.

Pst Viewer Pro supports exporting to PDF in the ISO 190005-1 PDF/A standard for email archiving.

You can tell Pst Viewer Pro to apply a custom naming scheme to the PDF files it creates.   Select “File Naming>Custom Naming Schema” and then expand by clicking the “…” box. This will bring up Export Naming Editor.
