On the iPhone, if you hold down the Power button + Main button, it'll take an image of what's on the screen. I've used it in the past to capture and print out text message exchanges.

Is there a way to do this if the text message exchanges span multiple pages?

Do you happen to have/use software that lets you back up your SMSes? – Jason Salaz♦ Jun 3 '11 at 20:03
So which one you actually mean? "How can I capture the whole screen down the scrollbar to the bottom to an image" or "How can I save my SMS text messages"? – Cawas Jun 6 '11 at 1:45

Try PhoneView. It can convert your SMS logs to PDF files for viewing or printing.

Only by scrolling and capturing repeatedly and then assembling in a graphics program. Nothing built into iOS currently does it, and SMS data is completely inaccessible to App Store 3rd party apps (protecting your privacy).
