Email Archiving - PDF Archive Creation

PST files (otherwise known as Outlook Archive Folders and Personal Folders) are no longer a viable option for SHSU's archiving needs. Therefore we are recommending that you store your old emails in a PDF Archive.

1. Make a folder on your S drive to store these PDFs.

 Create folder

2. In Outlook, go to one of the folders that you need to archive and Right Click.

 

Now please choose the folder that you created in step one as the save location.(HINT - Organizing your emails into folders based on time recieved or topic covered will greatly reduce the time spent sorting through these archives)

 

Save PDF

 

3. After the PDF is created you can delete the emails that you just converted out of Outlook. To add to an existing PDF archive file please select the second option "Append" and select the file that you wish to add the email to.

 Append Select

Append

 

4. After you have converted all of the emails from your PST files they will need to be disconnected from Outlook and deleted off of the SHSU S drive.
