PDF print is the way to go.

what is it within your chat window you want a picture of, exactly? Is it text, or an image?

swimmindude2496's avatar

txt but I want the bubbles.

Go with screenshot. It’s simple and it’s a snapshot – chances are you’ll have to open it in Preview and Save As… jpg, to make it compatible with the site you want to upload it to, but that’s not a difficult task.
