Does it convert to pdf. I have a 2 year long conversation of at least 400 messages that I need printed out for court.

Are you using an apple, windows, or Google pc?
If you are using windows they have (if your computer is Bluetooth enabled) an app where it links your phone to your computer via phone link. It allows you to control your phone from your computer. In doing so you'll just take the messages you can highlight copy and paste, you can ss, you can save them to word doc, you can do all you need. If it's apple or Google or Linux I'm sorry I cannot help you.

I believe it does. It saves as an XML file but if you choose the option to print the conversation you can save it as a PDF. It doesn't cost you anything to try it out and do a test and see what it can do for you if it suits your needs. So I suggest you try it.

Okay, thanks I was trying to find something free, but haven't had any luck. Too many messages to do the screenshot trick.

@userfgZHEUaLTn If you use Google Messages, you can device pair in Google Messages to your PC. Then you can highlight and copy the text in the messages.

These answers are too complicated. Just use Link to Windows, and if you set it up right, your phone should let you paste it on to your computer.
