Welcome to pdfconvert.me

pdfconvert.me is a free email service which will take the content of a message and return that content back to the sending email as a PDF attachment. This allows mobile devices to have a “print to PDF” feature in many circumstances.

No sign up is required - just send an email to one of the special pdfconvert addresses:

• pdfconvert@pdfconvert.me - Converts Text or HTML body
• noheaders@pdfconvert.me - Same as above, but does not prepend headers to the body
• webconvert@pdfconvert.me - Converts the first URL specified
• attachconvert@pdfconvert.me - Converts the first attachment seen
• markdown@pdfconvert.me - Converts Markdown body
• pdftotext@pdfconvert.me - Convert the first PDF attachment to plain text
• pdftoword@pdfconvert.me - Convert the first PDF attachment to Microsoft Word

The special addresses can have “option tokens” which can alter the result in some fashion:

• noheaders - Supressess any originating email headers from the conversion result
• dropbox - Uploads the conversion result to Dropbox (if you have linked your account with us)
• dropbox-only - Only uploads the conversion result to Dropbox (no email will be returned with the attachment)
• striptags - Removes Evernote-style tags from the subject/filename (# and @)
• noreplyto - Ignores the Reply-To: header in emails, so as not to send responses back to that address
• nojs - Do not evaluate javascript on webconvert requests
• content - For webconvert requests, only return the main text of the body

So for example, sending a .eml attachment to attachconvert-noheaders-dropbox-only@pdfconvert.me would convert the body of the attached email to PDF, removing any email headers and only uploading the resulting PDF to your Dropbox/Apps/pdfconvert.me folder.

Additionally, you can force sending the response to a particular email address with VERP-style encoding in the conversion address, such as:

markdown+bma=pdfconvert.me@pdfconvert.me

This would send the resulting PDF back to bma@pdfconvert.me, regardless of the sending address. To combat spam, the first conversion request per target email address will require authorizing pdfconvert.me to send to that address using an activation link.
