Thank you for that link.

Based on personal experience, which add-on does the forum recommend that would allow me to open an email using Firefox and right-clicking it in order to convert?

I am unfamiliar with all of these add-ons.

As a Linux user, I don't need those add-ons : A PDF printer/converter is present from scratch in the system. But I gived a try at somme of them :

• Save PDF https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/save-pdf/?src=search seem well, doesn't use external services, and work under MS-Windows or Linux, but NOT Mac.
• PDF Creator https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/webpage-to-pdf/?src=search seems to work well, but many cookies are added...
• I didn't try Gmail to PDF https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/convert-gmail-to-pdf-locally/?src=search but if it's a Gmail account, it worth testing.

To try any : just install it (press "add to firefox" button, then accept pressing another "Add" button). If it doesn't desserve you, remove it (go to "add-ons") !

Another option for Windows 7 users is a PDF printer driver. This installs as a printer, and intercepts the output and saves it as a PDF. Similarly to printing to paper, it is best to use your email site's print button to display a print-optimized layout of the message.

For example, the open source program:

https://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator

To be clear, I am looking for a Firefox equivalent that allows me to convert email (not webpages, saved files, or scanned files) to PDF.

Opera has a built-in function that allows me to open an Outlook.com email, right-click it, and 'Save as PDF.'

My scanner software has a built-in function to convert scanned documents to PDF.

I hope that I am being clear.

There's no built-in feature for that. If none of the above suggestions provide the desired feature, you could search the add-ons site and see whether any of them integrate with the right-click context menu: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/

Goal: Open an Outlook.com email and save it as a PDF (so that I can attach the PDF to an email as proof that the email was sent).

Reason: Outlook.com does not provide a 'Confirmation' page after an email is sent (it goes back to the Inbox) so I wanted to save a copy of the email itself since the recipient can only view it in PDF mode.

Opera makes it so easy so Firefox should take a page from them and add a built-in right-click PDF feature so that add-ons do not need to be used.

Hi Buddy2014, normally any message you send through Outlook.com will be saved in the Sent Items folder. However, to see clearly the distinction between incoming messages and your replies, you may prefer to turn off the "Conversations" feature:

https://outlook.live.com/mail/options/mail/layout

Once you can view a sent message, then you could convert it to PDF using any of the above methods, or any other method you discover.

jscher2000:

I am aware of the 'Sent' folder but I want the email to 'be saved as a PDF.'

Opera makes it so easy by providing a right-click option 'within' the email without the need to search pages of add-ons looking for the right one.

Bottom line as feedback would be for Firefox to add a 'Save as PDF' right click option in their next version update.

Whoops, your message changed since I viewed it.

Here in support, we work with the Firefox we have today, providing information on features, settings, and known limitations and workarounds.
