Convert Case Emails
to PDF

A step-by-step guide to scheduling the batch job, converting emails for a single case, and managing the job from the Salesforce UI — so you can free up data storage without losing any email history.

Why Convert Case Emails to PDF?

The storage problem every Salesforce org faces — and how this app solves it.

Storage in Salesforce is split into Data Storage and File Storage. Case email messages make up a large share of data storage, and regulations often require organisations to retain them for years — meaning storage needs only grow over time.

Convert Case Emails to PDF converts the email messages on your cases into compact PDFs and attaches them back to the case record, freeing up data storage while keeping every communication accessible inside Salesforce — no external tools required.

Steps to Schedule the Batch Job from the UI

Run this once to have case emails converted to PDF automatically, every hour.

1
