Convert OFT to PDF

Understanding OFT and PDF file formats

OFT (Outlook File Template) is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store email templates. These templates can be reused to create new emails with predefined content and formatting. PDF (Portable Document Format), developed by Adobe, is a widely used file format for sharing documents in a fixed layout, ensuring they look the same on any device or platform.

Why convert OFT to PDF?

Converting an OFT file to PDF is useful when you need to share an email template as a non-editable document, archive it, or ensure it is viewable without Microsoft Outlook. PDF files are universally accessible and preserve the original formatting.

How to convert OFT to PDF

There is no direct conversion from OFT to PDF using most standard software. However, you can achieve this in a few steps:

1. Open the OFT file in Microsoft Outlook.
2. Click File → Save As and save the template as an EML or MSG file if needed.
3. Open the email template and click File → Print.
4. Select Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer.
5. Click Print and choose the destination to save your PDF file.

The most reliable method is using Microsoft Outlook in combination with the built-in Microsoft Print to PDF feature on Windows.
