I am trying to save a large number of emails as pdfs. When I do this each individual email is saved as a pdf, however there is a header and a footer on every page, with the date of saving it as well as the subject of the email. I do not want this on the email. I tried going to page settings and removing the header and footer but this only removes the header and footer when printing.

Please help!

How do you know the origin, context and provenance of each message without this information?

And why (oh why) pdf? How do you imagine you will search, file, organise and find messages when stored as pdf files?

PDF is a form of printer. It should honour your page settings. And it does here; the printer dialogue has an options tab that lets you set and adjust (and suppress if required) the headers and footers.

But if you print a multipage document onto paper, it's usually rather necessary to have the pages numbered and dated, and some form of title shown, so you can manage and undo the confusion when you drop them all over the floor, or the wind blows them off your desk.

How are you printing to pdf? One at a time, by hand? Or are you using an add-on, such as ImportExportTools?
