C++ API to Export MSG to PCL
Transform MSG to PCL within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
Why to Convert
C++ developers often need to add email conversion features to their applications. This may include converting MSG file format to HTML, and then exporting HTML to PCL.

Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides developers with the tools they need to create powerful applications. It includes Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert MSG file format to HTML, and then export HTML to PCL.
Aspose.Email for C++ is a powerful email processing API that enables developers to convert MSG files to HTML. It supports a wide range of features, including the ability to read and write MSG files, convert MSG to HTML, and more.
Aspose.Words for C++ is a powerful document processing API that enables developers to export HTML to PCL. It supports a wide range of features, including the ability to read and write PCL files, convert HTML to PCL, and more.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily add email conversion features to their applications. They can use Aspose.Email for C++ to convert MSG file format to HTML, and then use Aspose.Words for C++ to export HTML to PCL. This makes it easy to add powerful email conversion features to applications.
C++ API to Convert MSG to PCL
- Open MSG file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert MSG to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to PCL format using Save method and set Pcl as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the MSG file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save MSG as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Pcl as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Pcl");
Parse MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to PCL, but you can read, manipulate, and parse MSG document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict PCL File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG to PCL. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Pcl");
