printing a million text messages

[heycal]

Is there simple-ish way to print out (and/or digitally save) several hundred text messages sent on my iphone and/or my MacBook over many years time between me and another iphone user?

PhoneView for the Mac allows you to export an entire Messages conversation as a PDF! $30 for the full version.

Just curious: are you a paralegal? I used to get a bunch of these requests when I was a VZW employee in my youth. Back then, it was taking hundreds of screenshots and inserting them into a Word document, which was a fair amount of billable hours.

I'm not. This is just for personal interest.

Thanks. Ideally there is something for free, but would pay if need be.

iExplorer should be able to print off messages.
I think it is still free.

I was about to ask if this was for a legal case, lol

I used to do this for my job. I used to get orders in through Messages. On your iPhone/iPad, hold down on one message, then tap "More." Then select whatever messages you want (several hundred might take a while). Tap the arrow in the bottom corner and it'll start a new message thread. Copy/Paste that message into Pages or whatever app and print.

On a Mac, just highlight and select the text as you would in any other app, copy/paste from there.
