    Thank you so much!! Helping someone on Messenger and we have a long-running chat that I would like to be able to search easily for information we've discussed. This will be invaluable and so much easier than the copy and paste I already did as it wasn't very clean, images were all overlapping text. Overall, this will be so much help cuz easily can convert PDFs to Word and the like. Really appreciate your clear video with examples!!

No where can I open the html. I still get the "file not found". any ideas on how to fix this?

    Actually, I found a problem, not with your description, but with the process itself. The pdf contained the photos that I had uploaded, but it did not contain the photos that my friend had uploaded. This seems to be a general feature of the Facebook print or save. Messenger apparently saves the photos and references them. But, if they're not on my computer, they don't show the photo. I'll have to research this question further.

You are right and I haven't been able to find any other workaround for the other user's links or images other than what I had been doing before this...just selecting the whole chat in Messenger and pasting into a Word or Libre document. It works for all but it leaves images hanging a bit off the left margin and wastes a ton of space.
