The next question would be where will you keep the PDFs, safely? On Cloud Drives, probably!

I would recommend you to turn on Messages in iCloud and your content is automatically stored in iCloud and is available on all devices that use the same Apple ID whenever you desire.

Messages are never lost unless you delete them on any of the devices that uses the same Apple ID.

If you still want only on PDFs then...

If you have a Mac it can be done else I do not know.

Text Message Forwarding to mac (Use Same Apple ID)
On Mac Open iMessage > Select the Message Thread > File > Print > Save as PDF

Thank you so much for your response. The messages are on my mom’s iPhone, which is on my account with my cell phone carrier. Can I connect her Apple ID to my Mac without compromising my own Apple ID? We need to save these texts and Mom has a PC that she doesn’t know how to use very well (neither do I as a Mac user). I’d store the PDFs maybe in her Google Drive account. She’s elderly and dementia is creeping in and she deletes important things that she needs so I’m always fixing things after the fact.
