Backup to PDF
All I know of is signal back ( https://github.com/xeals/signal-back ) but I haven't been able to install and use this yet due to my complete lack of programming knowledge. Even the Github instructions don't make sense to me...

Is xeals/signal-back safe to use?
I just want to read a .backup (created on Android) of my signal messages and found a tool that purports to do that. If I use it on my computer, am I rendering the content vulnerable to remote access?

Removing SMS support from Signal Android (soon)
> I'm confused at what is stopping you from doing this?
As far as I know the backup is encrypted.
> Are you not able to import these backups into the desktop client?
No, the desktop client is not standalone, and ONLY syncs with the a phone to get content. Moreover, if you don't use the client for a period (2-3 weeks in my experience?) it de-syncs that desktop client. Re-connecting that desktop to your phone will only sync messages starting as-of the connection, so there's no way to get the desktop app to pull your whole history. (This is another gripe I have about their sacrifice of actual usability for security that only helps a few very specific use-cases.)
You're probably rigth about hacking something together. Someone has created a library [0] allegedly for decoding the backup files. Friday night is D&D night though, so I haven't had the chance. :-)

SMS Export is now live *in beta* in Android 5.52
The backups are using protobuf, I use https://github.com/pajowu/signal-backup-decode to decode the backup file. You end up with a sqlite database and some files. Afterwards, I run queries via nodejs against sqlite to produce the HTML, that is a bit quick and dirty at the moment and not open source so far.

You can also try https://github.com/pajowu/signal-backup-decode, the author is active (replied to issues 12 days ago). On the previous repository, the author appears to be inactive (I should have checked, my bad).
