Convert your email to PDF and change the time zone

Recently (December 2019) PDFen.com has a new functionality, namely forcing a time zone in the PDF. What's up with that? 

If you open your e-mail in your e-mail program such as Outlook, Gmail, Thunderbird, etc., this program automatically adjusts the time of your time zone (for example, Europe/Amsterdam). This is useful, because then you know when the e-mail was sent or received. 

If you then save an e-mail as an eml file and then have it converted by PDFen.com, PDFen determines the time zone as it is stored in the e-mail (eml). If you save the e-mail with an e-mail program in the Netherlands, the 'Europe/Amsterdam' time zone will probably be in the eml. Nothing wrong so far. 

But what if you get saved e-mail (eml) files that are saved with a different time zone and you want to convert them to PDF? Then after conversion there will be the time in the time zone with which the e-mail is stored. Often this is not desirable and you want to change the current time zone in the PDF... recently PDFen.com has made this possible! 

This is very simple: 

• Login with your account (or create an account)
• Go to your preferences and choose: 
  • "Eml correction by time zone" = "Yes"
  • Now you can set the time zone at "Desired time zone"
• Go to e-mail to PDF and convert! 

If you now upload eml files at PDFen.com and convert to PDF, you will see that the time is in the specified time zone.
