Convert EMLX to PS using Python
EMLX to PS conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word® or Outlook.
For a Python developer, who is trying to add a EMLX to PS conversion feature within application? Aspose.Total for Python via .NET API can help to automate the conversion process. It’s a full package of various APIs dealing different formats including Email, Images and Microsoft Word formats. Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET APIs that are part of Aspose.Total for Python via .NET package makes this conversion easy using Python. It’s a two step process, firstly load Email and render it into HTML via Aspose.Email for Python via .NET . Secondly load the converted HTML using Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and save it into respective Word PS format.
How to Convert EMLX to PS in Python
- Open the source EMLX file using MailMessage.load class
- Call the
savemethod while specifying output HTML file path and relevant HTML Save options as parameter. So your EMLX file is converted to HTML at the specified path - Now Load the saved HTML file using Document
- Call the save method with relevant file path. So finally the EMLX is converted
Conversion Requirements
- For EMLX to PS conversion, Python 3.5 or later is required
- Reference APIs within the project directly from PyPI ( Aspose.Words and Aspose.Email )
- Or use the following pip command
pip install aspose.wordsandpip install Aspose.Email-for-Python-via-NET - Moreover, Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS (see more for Words and Email ) and for Linux check additional requirements for gcc and libpython and follow step by step instructions INSTALL

What is EMLX File Format?
The EMLX file format is a variant of the EML (Electronic Mail) format specifically used by Apple Mail, the default email client for macOS. While EML files are widely used by various email clients, EMLX files are specific to Apple Mail.
EMLX files store email messages individually, similar to EML files, but with slight differences in their file structure. Each EMLX file represents a single email message and contains the complete message data, including the sender and recipient details, subject, date, attachments, and the message body. These files are typically stored in a specific directory hierarchy within the user’s mailbox folder in Apple Mail.
The EMLX format is based on the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) standard, allowing for the inclusion of various types of content within email messages. This includes text, HTML formatting, attachments, and embedded images, ensuring that the entire email message is preserved within the EMLX file.
EMLX files are useful for email archiving, backup, and migration purposes within the Apple Mail ecosystem. They provide a convenient way to store and transfer individual email messages while maintaining their original formatting and structure. EMLX files can be easily shared or transferred between different instances of Apple Mail or imported into other email clients that support the EMLX format.
It’s important to note that EMLX files are specific to Apple Mail and may not be directly compatible with other email clients. However, conversion tools or email migration software can often convert EMLX files to other standard email formats for broader compatibility.
What is PS File Format?
The PS (PostScript) file format is a page description language developed by Adobe Systems. It is commonly used for printing and is supported by a wide range of printers and imaging devices. PS files contain instructions that describe how elements such as text, images, and graphics should be rendered on a printed page.
PS files are created by applications that generate PostScript output, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, or other graphics software. They are primarily used in professional printing workflows, where high-quality and consistent output is required.
The PS file format is based on a stack-based programming language, where commands and operands are placed on a stack and executed in a sequential manner. This allows for precise control over page layout, typography, color, and other printing parameters.
PS files are typically text-based and can be opened and edited with a text editor. They consist of a series of ASCII characters that represent the PostScript code. The code describes the arrangement and appearance of objects on a page, including text positioning, image placement, and graphical transformations.
While PS files are primarily used for printing, they can also be converted to other formats for digital distribution or further processing. For example, PS files can be converted to PDF (Portable Document Format) files, which are widely supported and can be easily viewed and printed on various devices.
