Save an Email Message in Gmail to a PDF

To get started, launch your browser and log into your Gmail account if you aren’t already. Then from your inbox, head to the email you want to save as a PDF and open it. Then click on the More menu button (three dots) on the upper-right corner of the email message. Then from the menu click on the Print option.

Now on Windows, a Print dialog will come up. From the dropdown on the left, select Save as PDF for the printer.

Here you can also select the pages you want to include and also adjust margins and the layout if needed.

When you are ready, go ahead and click the Save button in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Then choose a location where you want to save the mail as a PDF. Make sure to use a convenient but secure location to store the document. Especially if it contains any sensitive information.
