How it works

There are three test emails included with this sample.

1. We parse the email and get to, from, subject, and the body of the email as well as the array of attachments.
2. In addition to the body's HTML, we add to, from, and subject. You can add additional styling if you wish and retrieve cc.
3. We then convert the HTML string to a PDF.
4. If there are any attachments, depending on the content type, we will either convert or just generate the PDF from the buffer of the attachment.
5. Once everything is completed, we merge the PDFs.
