Outlook PDF Attachment Downloader

This Python script allows you to automatically download PDF attachments from Outlook emails. It works with multiple email accounts and saves the downloaded PDF files to a specified folder on your local hard drive.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system.
• Required Python libraries: win32com, os

You can install the required libraries using pip:

pip install pywin32

Setup

1. Clone this repository or download the outlook_pdf_attachment_downloader.py script to your local machine.

2. Open the outlook_pdf_attachment_downloader.py file in a text editor.

3. Modify the download_folder variable to specify the folder where you want to save the downloaded PDF attachments. For example:

   download_folder = r"C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\Attachments"

   Replace YourUsername with your actual username.

4. If you have multiple email accounts in Outlook and want to download PDF attachments from all of them, update the account_numbers list to include the correct account indices. To find the correct account indices, run the script with account_numbers = [0], and observe the output. Then update the list with the correct account indices:

   account_numbers = [0, 1, 2]  # Update with the correct account indices

Usage

1. Make sure Outlook is open and logged in to your email accounts.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt.

3. Navigate to the directory containing the outlook_pdf_attachment_downloader.py file.

4. Run the script using the following command:

   python outlook_pdf_attachment_downloader.py

   The script will start processing emails from the specified accounts' Inboxes, and any PDF attachments found will be downloaded to the specified download_folder.

Note

• This script works with the Windows version of Outlook.

• Use this script responsibly and only on your own Outlook accounts or with proper authorization from the account owners.
