Is there a way to save outlook item to pdf in visual studio?

Question

I need to deploy an add-in to Outlook. I have a old VBA macro that works, (save an Outlook item do pdf). But I need a modern way to deploy it to all users. Is it possible in Visual Studio Windows Form? There is a template?

You can use any .net components for getting the job done if you develop a COM add-in (for example, a VSTO based one). Basically, you may get the HTMLBody property value and save it using the .pdf file format. See Convert HTML to PDF in .NET for more information.
