Convert MSG to EML in Java & J2SE Applications

Convert Password Protected MSG to EML

Accurately load and convert documents that are protected with a password within your Java based applications. The file format conversion API also supports rendering remote documents from different sources including S3, Blob, FTP, Stream, URL or a local disk.

Create new instance of Converter class and pass source document path
Instantiate the proper ConvertOptions class e.g. (PdfConvertOptions, WordProcessingConvertOptions, SpreadsheetConvertOptions etc.)
Call convert method of Converter class instance and pass filename for the converted document

Source Document Information Extraction

The documents information extraction feature not only allows getting the basic information about the source document file but it also supports extracting some valuable file-format specific information such as project start and end dates of a Microsoft Project file, any printing restrictions on a PDF document, list of folders enclosed in an Outlook data file etc.

Convert popular document file formats on different operating systems such as Windows, Linux or macOS while using development environments such as NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse.

Convert Specific Word Pages to PDF in Java

Java document conversion API allows you to choose selected pages from the source document and accurately convert to the supported document format. The code example below shows how to convert the 1st and 4th pages of a Word document to the resultant PDF file.

Create a new instance of Converter class and load input (Word) document
Instantiate the proper ConvertOptions class e.g. (PdfConvertOptions, WordProcessingConvertOptions, SpreadsheetConvertOptions etc)
Set setPages property of the ConvertOptions instance and mention specific page number to be converted
Call convert method of Converter class instance and pass filename (PDF) for the converted document

Caching Converted Document Results

In some cases, the converted document size is bigger and it takes time to be converted. The document conversion library offers the caching feature to efficiently manage such situations and speed up the repetitive conversion process. Enable the ICache interface to work with custom cache implementation using the extension point and control the cache conversion, as you prefer.

The conversion result is saved to the local drive by default but any type of cache storage can be supported by implementing the appropriate interfaces such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Windows Azure, Reddis or any other.

What is MSG file format?

The MSG file format, developed by Microsoft, is designed to store email messages, contacts, appointments, and other messaging data. It is widely used across Microsoft products, including Outlook, Exchange, and Office 365. MSG files are structured to store data using MAPI properties and data types, allowing for various formats such as plain text, HTML, and RTF. Additionally, MSG files can store attachments like images, videos, documents, and other file types.

These files are typically generated when an email is sent or received, or when contacts or appointments are created or modified. Alongside messages, MSG files can also house other data, such as calendar events or tasks associated with an Outlook account. Furthermore, MSG files find application in various Microsoft applications, including Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Skype for Business.

One of the key advantages of MSG files is their reliability and security, making them a preferred choice for business purposes. They offer a robust and structured format for storing messaging data, ensuring its integrity and accessibility. This reliability, coupled with their compatibility across Microsoft products, contributes to their popularity in business environments.

What is EML file format?

The EML file is a type of email message that includes both the message content and the email header information. It is an extension of the Mime (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) format and is used in most email clients, including Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. EML files are used to save an email message before it is sent and can also be used to archive emails. The EML file format is an XML-structured file that is used to store the header information, such as sender, recipient, subject line, and date, as well as the message content, such as body text, HTML, images, and attachments. The header information is stored in the header of the file and the content is stored in the body. The file is readable by both humans and computers, and can be opened in a text editor, such as Notepad or TextEdit. EML files are commonly used to transfer emails between different email systems. For example, when an email is sent from one email client to another, the email is usually saved as an EML file and then transferred over the internet. This ensures that the message is delivered properly. The EML file format is also used to store emails in an archive. For example, emails can be archived in an EML file and then later opened and read in any compatible email client. This makes it easy to keep emails organized and backed up. In addition to being used for email messages, the EML file format is also used by some applications to store log files, document files, and other types of files.
