![]() This is a massive problem I’ve encountered. If you work in a large org, you essentially need to export and share decks via PDF, and they have to fit into an email. There are hardly any features baked in - it’s not even possible to export only selected Frames, or export based on pasteboard order (top to bottom, left to right) - and on top of that the exports are MASSIVE - even when therer is only a few bitmaps (screenshots) with the rest as vectors. But the PDF format is important too, and what is the point of having an export to pdf feature if the end result is completely unoptimised and unusable?Īgreed - Figma is terrible at PDF exporting - and that is a big problem when generating decks for business and exec leadership. I know it could be a monumental task given that the format is Adobe and Figma is primarily for digital design. But I do think the export to pdf feature could be drastically improved on Figma. ![]() PDF is an important file format (right now) and designers need it for a lot of use cases. I had to redesign the entire thing in InDesign where I could then save it out as an interactive PDF. If you have many assets or images, the pdf Figma exports is excessively large.įor example, I exported a two page style guide the other day and it came out to 24MB!!! Even if I downsized the images, the images which were in a clip mask was saved out as a raster image, which is not ideal because PDF should ideally contain vectors. ![]() I know PDF is an Adobe format, but there is something about the way Figma exports pdfs that blows out file sizes excessively.ĭesigners commonly mock up print files such as resumes and brand guides in Figma, but sometimes people may want to export these files out to pdf to send to people by email. I would like to see a better implementation of Figma’s export to PDF feature. I’m not aware of any community plugin that solves this. ![]() Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Or just the quality is retained as close as possible to the Figma quality.Īsk questions to bring the community into the conversation PDFs exported when they contain some kind of image seem to be quite large, maybe because the whole image is intact and it isn’t cropped down. In addition to PDF compression, sometimes merging multiple files into a single document is something that I wish Figma gave some options for when exporting.Īdd as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) When I export out PDFs and attach them to emails for review for stakeholders who either are not in Figma or just prefer to review and leave notes via PDF mockups, I always have to find a PDF compression solution that can shrink down the sizes. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this ![]()
