I need to export an entire iMessage conversation

I need to export the entire iMessage conversation I've had with a person who is no longer with us. It's years long.


I know that if I choose Print from the File menu, I can print the currently loaded text bubbles or save as them a PDF. But that is only the most recent stuff, and I need it all.


But I want the entire conversation. How can I do that?


Thank you very much in advance.

You can elect to print screen shots, or copy and pasted text messages. There may be third-party solutions that will allow you to export entire threads, but that is not a native feature.
