Making Contacts into a document

I have nearly 900 listings in my Contacts. (One of the reasons is that I am involved in alum activities for my college class, so have contact info for all my classmates.)

I want to keep all these contacts, but I do not need them all in my iPhone or on my iPad. However, because they are synced iCloud, all of the contacts are carried in all of my devices. I want to figure out a way to create a record of them that I can keep as a document on my computer. If I have that document, I could then delete contacts to whom I do not need regular access.

In the old(er) days, the parallel app was called Address Book, and you could actually print the entire document (either as a hard copy or by saving as a PDF). That option to print is not available with Contacts.

Mac tech support was (uncharacteristically) not very helpful, although I will call them again because I think I got a neophyte on the phone. In the meantime: Does anyone here have any ideas about how I can create a document out of all my contacts? (I do not want an Excel spreadsheet.)

(And none of the listed topics quite describe what I'm asking about, so I chose "system software" as the topic.)
