If you have a Mac and you have synced your messages to your Mac via iCloud, it's easy to export iPhone SMS to PDF using the Messages app on Mac. However, you may need to scroll up multiple times in the Messages app on Mac to load all past messages, so this method is more suitable for messages saved for a short period. To export text messages from iPhone to PDF for free, follow the steps below:
Step 1. Open the Messages app on your Mac.
Step 2. Choose the conversation you want to save as a PDF.
Step 3. Click on the "File" option in the menu bar.
Step 4. Select "Print" from the drop-down menu.
Step 5. In the print dialogue, find the drop-down menu at the bottom centre and select "Save as PDF".
Unfortunately, unlike the method using your Mac, Apple does not offer any convenience for iOS devices to download texts to PDF directly. In such a situation, what you can do is take screenshots of the messages you want to export and then save them as PDFs.
However, this method is not suitable for a large number of messages because it is very time-consuming. Here is how to convert text messages to PDF:
Step 1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
Step 2. Find the conversation you want to screenshot and take screenshots.
Step 3. Then, go to the "Photos" app > Tap the "Albums" tab > Select "Screenshots" > Choose the screenshots you want to convert to PDF.
Step 4. Tap the "share" button in the bottom left corner > Select "Print" > Choose a printer > Tap "Print" in the top right corner, and your message screenshots will be printed as a PDF file.
