Somehow I was able to print my email to a PDF. Proton Mail web client provides a button to click to print. And I selected a Microsoft Print to PDF as a printer. Some browsers like Chrome allows you to Save As a PDF. This was important that Proton provided this Print button because the normal print functionality provided by the browser was unable to print the email correctly - most of the times - no matter the browser - or printer - has trouble printing emails with html tables in them.

But yeah, i can certainly understand the need to Export email to PDF here. So, I say yes too.

This would be very useful when we have to send screenshots of various receipts to country import customs which are many times just html emails and not constructed in a convenient A4 paper format. I don't have to awkwardly resize and try to manually stitch screenshots together, I could just export in PDF with basic options on paper format, scaling, rotation, position, offsets, margins, etc. !!! Would be really good and very speedy.

The Print->Print to PDF isn't perfect as it has some side-effects and doesn't always produce a good looking document, plus some elements are duplicated on each page and there's no way to disable this behavior in the browsers built in print dialog.

Sometimes I would just like a continious screenshot image, without it being split to kind of formal standard paper dimension, eg. like Firefox can screenshot a whole website in one huge image.

Just to clarify this once and for all on why we need this feature and why it would be helpful.

1- Like Other comments said Proton allows us to print one email at the time not multilple emails it takes forever to print a package of emails to pdf.

2- If you use the "print to pdf" option of your PC that actually prints the page of what you see not the just the email meanings its not possible to open all the emails in the same page and print them. plus the view of print to pdf is horrible.

3- For those saying that we can use a third party software or website to" print to pdf " you must know by doing so you are exposing the third party every email you print. Those "third party" actually store the files with their metadata you transmit to them there is no privacy and its a risky method specially if the email you print have sensitive data. remember why are you using protonmail to begin with.

thank you

Just print to PDF

Just print into PDF? It's a system function of any Mac.
I don't miss the feature "inside ProtonMail" (as a Mac user)

Of course, there is a workaround (but it's very painful):
1. Export E-Mail as ".eml" file.
2. Open ".eml" file with a freeware program e.g. EML Reader
3. Convert to PDF-File
4. Move PDF-File to external Archive-System
==> I find it a bit cumbersome. Don't you think so?

For archiving purposes it would be extremly useful (single e-mail to PDF-file),

I think this is not needed. You have on every OS a Print to PDF option (one way or another).

For the ones who ask for printing multiple emails to a single PDF:
1) well, just print your emails separately and use a free tool to merge your PDF files into a single one.
2) other email clients (Outlook), allow you to select multiple messages and print them bulk (again, you select as destination the "print to PDF/whatever you like as PDF" logical printer)

It already exist on the Mobile IOS app, not on the MacOS-app. I would love to have it on the Mac-OS version too!

Already exists! Although, a 'Print multiple emails to (single)) PDF' feature could be useful.

More specifically print/save multiple emails to PDF, which is important for legal issues and also Real Estate Transactions. Apple Mail does this very easily by selecting multiple emails, then Cmd/P and print or save to PDF, and it works great. However, it would be better to have this built into ProtonMail so using Proton Bridge just to save/print emails isn't necessary. Currently Proton Mail (MacOS) only allows printing/saving one email at a time, which is unusable for those in the Legal or Real Estate businesses.

Proton may as well host webinars on how to use a computer

Guided steps:

1. Print to PDF

Does this not already exist?
- open email
- click the dots next to the reply section (just looking on iOS at the minute but fairly sure I can do it everywhere)
- scroll down to “more”
- “save as pdf”

PDFs are buggy. The reason is the close source of the original engine. There is no reason to use old technologies as new ones are already here.

EPUB is a better alternative. Mails are htmls and are better to be stored the same way. Fonts can be stored as fonts and SVG vector graphics as... SVG.

I moved from mht and pdf to epub and happy with that.
