I have a collection of PDF files containing old email conversations that I need to access in Thunderbird. The problem is that PDF files cannot be imported directly as proper email messages, and manually copying the sender, recipient, subject, and message body into a new email for every file would take forever.

I tried the manual approach, but it has several drawbacks. Formatting can change during copy-paste, email headers may be missing, and attachments have to be added separately. This becomes especially frustrating when dealing with hundreds of archived emails.

While searching for a reliable solution to Convert PDF to EML, I came across the DRS Softech PDF Converter Tool. It supports batch conversion, so multiple PDF files can be loaded together using the Select File or Select Folder option. You can choose EML as the output format and apply advanced features or filters before starting the conversion.

Another important consideration is preserving the original formatting, structure, and available metadata as much as possible. I also noticed that the tool supports password-protected PDFs and works across Windows versions.

Here is the guide I found useful:

Has anyone used this tool for bulk conversion? I would appreciate feedback on the output quality and how well the converted files work in Thunderbird or Outlook.
