I have 10+ messages on Discord

I either want an extension to save discord messages as pdf or one single screenshot.

OR

I want to know if there is a way to export certain messages on discord into pdf or jpg images.

Usecase: I ask doubts on Math discord servers, sometimes it can be concluded in one page (and I can screenshot it) and save it along with the question so I can have a look at it before exams. But some questions take longer discussions. Discord is chaotic and shi**y according to me. I want to have images or pdf locally. So, how would you go by doing this?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/discord-notebook/ This is a nice add-on which is available for Chrome too. But, it’s a pain in the jazz and it really isn’t better than a screenshot. I added it here coz I thought some of you might find this helpful.

I could have easily have done a long screenshot with Firefox’s screenshot application (in the browser), but discord website won’t let me scroll. If you guys can help me with the scroll thing then the problem is solved.

You don’t want to just save the text? It sounds like it’s just text information you want to save, so why not just save it into notes files, then you have the bonus of being able to search them

I am done! I could not find a valid solution, I am just going to include some filters in my ublock origin filters and do my screenshooting

    unfortunately, didn’t work for me. Singlefile is absolutely awesome, I use it for many things but singlefile ain’t for this :(

      May I ask what was the problem? A few weeks ago I tried to save messages this way, and (to my surprise) it worked fine.

        worked fine

        for normal html sites, it would just download the whole page, and it works here too. But it downloads the whole chat while I just want a copy of last ten messages

          I see, it downloads too much.

          You could try the "save selection function.
          Or with the “annotate and save page” function, if in the annotation editor tab you click “enable/disable removing of internal elements”, I think you could try deleting any messages that’s not needed.
