Email to PDF extracts the conversation open in Outlook on the web and renders the document locally inside the Chrome extension. Captured message content is not sent to an application server. If an email contains images hosted elsewhere, the extension may request those files from their original network locations so it can try to embed them in the PDF.
Check the workflow, supported Outlook setup, document contents, and current export limits before installing.
