The best MBOX to PDF application should do more than simply change the file extension. It should read the mailbox properly and keep important email information such as To, From, CC, BCC, dates, message content, formatting and attachments in the exported PDF.
One practical approach is to use a desktop converter when handling a large archive or multiple MBOX files. TrustVare MBOX to PDF Converter can be considered here because it works without Thunderbird, supports batch conversion and provides both File Mode and Folder Mode. The preview option is also useful for checking the mailbox before export.
I would test a few messages first and compare the generated PDFs with the original emails. This makes it easier to verify headers, formatting, attachments and folder selection before converting the complete MBOX archive.
