Is it possible to merge several emails into a PDF from Outlook/Hotmail?

Hello,

Please can anyone help? I'm trying to merge several (as in... 90!) emails for someone into a PDF/word document. They have a Hotmail/Outlook email account which I'm unfamiliar with.

Please can anyone advise? There must be an easier way that copying and pasting each one separately into Word! :rotfl::o:o:o

Many thanks.

Edit to add: all I have on my PC is "Mail", not sure if that's the same thing as outlook but from what I've googled it doesn't seem to have the same options as Outlook? *clueless*

    I don't know the answer, but while it might be possible to save an individual email as a PDF I think it's unlikely that there will be a facility to save multiple emails into a single PDF. I suspect the paste into Word solution may be what you'll need to do.

    i am not going to ask 'why'. Print and scan to pdf is another option but would waste a lot of ink/paper and you would need a business scanner

    Can't you just organise them into a folder within the mail client?
