Convert a .msg file to .pdf

[sapna_soni0290]

Hi Team,

I have a .msg file which i want to convert to .msg file. I have learned that in order to convert a .msg to .pdf, u need to

1. Open .msg into outlook & save as .html

2. Open .html from word & do save as pdf.

I am looking for an action or vbo code that can do Step #1. Has anyone used a similar functionality earlier ?

PS - My input is .msg. I dont have that email in outlook , so dont have its entry id. Please suggest a way with above mentioned approach or any other approach that does not require spying.

Your help is much appreciated.
