Hello Apryse team,
I am trying locally Apryse WebViewer with the WebViewer server launched with docker. It is working fine.
When I use instance.UI.loadDocument(file); with an EML file containing attachments it shows a “pdf” without the emebeded attachments (see screenshot).
But when i use the same command with a PDFA containing attachments (like the one in attachment), I can see the attachments in the left panel.
pdf-with-attachments.pdf (6.6 KB)
So how can the EML be converted the right way to have the same behaviour?
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Julian

Hello Julian,
MSG, and I believe EML files as well, can be converted using our Server SDK with Outlook installed and it will embed all attachments into the PDF output. This should provide the best conversion and this can only be done on Windows. Convert to PDF with Virtual Printer in Server/Desktop | Apryse documentation
The attachments in MSG files should be added as additional pages.
Best Regards,
Darian

Hello Darian,
what do you mean by “converted using our Server SDK with Outlook installed”, currently I am using the webviewer (frontend) calling the webviewer server (the docker provided pdftron/webviewer-server:latest). How is outlook supposed to be part of this, the webviewer server is doing the conversion , right?
Why outlook is required for this? Because converted an EML to PDF with emebeded attachments should be doable with a mail parser etc…
Thank you,
Best regards,
Julian

Hello Julian,
Currently, attachments will not work on WebViewer Server. My recommendation was to convert the EML files to a better format using a different product of ours known as the Server SDK. However, there may still be an issue with attachments showing up properly. We will do some investigation and get back to you.
Best Regards,

As Darian noted WebViewer server does not currently convert the attachments in an EML file. I have opened an enhancement request to investigate adding support and we can keep you updated.
