How do I save text messages on my phone?

[AC Question]

I have a first generation Moto G with Android 4.4.4

I have a thread in my text messages I want to save to pdf.

How can I do it? I know there is way!

Welcome to Android Central! You could use an app like SMS Backup & Restore, but this creates an XML file, not PDF. There are XML to PDF converters on the web, though. There might be other SMS backup apps that create files that are more easily converted to PDF. I did find SMS To PDF Converter, but it doesn't get great reviews.

My guess would be the more common method of using a "backup" app that writes your text messages to an XML file then copy that XML file to your computer.
