I work for an attorney that used the option in Adobe 7 to print his Outlook email. He now has Adobe 8 and there does not appear to be a way either to append to the original emails, nor does there seem to be away to combine the new Adobe 8 email package. When we combine them, they lose the attachments and I do not see the option to sort.

You can use the Combine Files command to combine PDF Packages and retain the file attachments. Use the Advanced > Document Processing > Manage Embedded Index command to embed an index in the new file.—ted

Is there a way to COMBINE two email packages (created in Acrobat 8) without losing the indexing, attachments, etc? I understand the idea of appending when creating packages, but I'd like to combine two existing packages.

The answer appears to work - in general - but not for email packages. Using this approach, you lose the folder location, from, subject, and original date of the message. Is there some other parameter you need to set to retain all of the characteristics of the two packages you are combining ?

hmmmm. Well, I'm not sure. Perhaps this question might be best answered in the Forum area of Acrobat Users. If someone has experienced a similar problem, you might get an answer there. Try it and see if you can get a response.

Please help....I have Acrobat 8 and others in the office have 7. I am trying to work out how you pdf emails and attachments into one pdf. When I highlight the email and it's attachments and then send to print PDF, only the email is saved into pdf and not it's attachment. I also do not seem to have the option of accessing the Acrobat PDFMaker toolbar in Outlook to convert selected messages settings. Any ideas other than saving individually and then combining PDFs - very time consuming. How do I get the PDFMaker toolbar to appear? Thanks Joli

After you install Acrobat 8, you should see a menu option in Outlook Adobe PDF>Upgrade Acrobat 7 Archive. Once you do that, you should be able to append.
Acrobat 8 supports creating PDF Packages from multiple mails and embedding an index file in the resultant PDF Package. It's a nice feature. If you use a PDF Package, you can append additional files to the Package. However if you want to return to views like you had with Acrobat 7, remove the checkbox where you see: Output Adobe PDF Package when creating a new PDF file.
