Export iMessage to PDF Files
iMessages are sometimes important to us, because I remember that one of our users asked me how to save SMS messages from iPhone backups which were created with iTunes and print out, which would be used as evidence on court. From the case we can see that how important it is to extract messages from iPhone backups, and PDF is the best chosen format. You will learn to export messages to PDF files using iBackup Viewer in this tutorial.
