Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OLM file?

OLM (Outlook for Mac Archive) is the file format used by Microsoft Outlook for Mac to store email messages, contacts, calendar entries, and other items. It can be seen as the Mac equivalent of the PST format (which is for Windows).

How do I export OLM from Outlook for Mac?

In Outlook for Mac, go to Tools > Export. Select the items you want to export (mail, contacts, etc.), choose a location, and click Continue. Outlook will create an OLM file containing your selected data.

Do I need to log in to convert OLM files?

Yes, OLM conversion requires a registered account. This is because OLM files can be large and contain many emails, requiring more processing power. Create a free account to get started.

What happens to email attachments?

Email attachments are processed the same way as regular email-to-PDF conversion. Office documents are converted to PDF, images and existing PDFs are included directly. All attachments are merged with the email body into a single PDF per email.

How many emails can an OLM file contain?

File size and bulk conversion limits depend on your active subscription level. Consult our pricing page for the current limits. If your OLM contains too many emails, consider exporting specific folders separately or processing in batches.

What can I do if my OLM file is too large?

If your OLM file is too large, consider compressing it through ZIP. This is really simple. Just go to your file library, right-mouse click on your file and select ‘compress in ZIP-file’. Your file size can be greatly reduced, and you can still use the ZIP file on PDFen

Can I convert OLM to PST instead?

Our service converts OLM files directly to PDF. If you need PST format, you will need to use a dedicated OLM to PST converter first. However, PDF is often a better choice for long-term archiving as it is universally readable.

Can I merge all emails into one PDF?

Yes! Use our Merge OLM to PDF option to combine all emails from your OLM archive into a single PDF document. This is perfect for creating consolidated email reports or archives.

Why is it handy to convert my document to PDF?

Converting a file to PDF ensures your document stays consistent and accessible. PDFs lock in formatting, design, and structure, preventing layout shifts that can happen with editable file types. They’re compatible with virtually all devices and operating systems, making them ideal for professional documents, forms, reports, and presentations. PDFs are also easy to distribute; whether through email, downloads, cloud platforms, or QR-codes that let users open a file instantly on their phone.

Will documents lose quality when converted?

Our intelligent software minimizes quality loss when converting documents. As such, documents can be converted without having to worry about quality loss for a great number of times.

Will my document lay-out or format be changed if I convert it?

No; our intelligent PDF software recognizes document layouts and transforms them accurately onto a new file format. Was your lay-out or format not transformed accurately? Consider applying OCR, or applying different customization settings to convert it correctly.

Can I convert a document into PDF and convert it back into original format?

Yes! There are no limits to converting documents, and documents can safely and easily be converted back and forth. Conversion can be handy to edit a PDF document in Word, and later convert it back into an organized PDF format.

How can I merge PDF documents?

To merge PDF documents simply go to our converter, choose the file format you’re merging, and drag and drop the files you want to merge. Then you have the opportunity to edit some settings, press merge, and you’re done! You can download your merged file right away.

Can I customize my PDF documents while converting?

Yes, PDFengine offers various means of customizing your (PDF) documents. Consider adding a cover page, applying OCR, or using PDF/A as output.

Why is the text in my PDF not displayed correctly?

If the text is not copyable, clickable, or searchable, that means the text is not recognized within the PDF. Try uploading your document onto PDFen and applying OCR. OCR technology will make your text readable. In case it doesn’t work completely in one go: apply OCR a second time.
