Hi everyone,


We have designed our sales deck in Figma. Since each Frame consists of many shapes and vector graphics, it would simply not make sense to directly export the Frames as PDFs. Aside from that, the direct PDF export has issues rendering fades and other styles in the PDFs making a direct export unsuitable. Below I share on our approach and thinking, but as this is very complicated, I would love to get your recommendations on how to set it up in the most-effective way. To us, it is also important that we have a small file size and still high resolution.


Transforming all graphics and backgrounds to png for each of the slides would be the perfect solution, but is simply too time-consuming to deal with.


Approach:



  1. Export all Frames as PNG with high resolution (I chose 3x)

  2. Convert all PNGs to PDFs using any tool of your choice, e.g. png2pdf.com

  3. Apply OCR to PDFs, e.g. with PDF durchsuchbar machen. Online-OCR-Tool.

  4. Organize PDF in the exact order given in Figma if necessary → Is there a way to automatically name each frame according to its order on the canvas?

  5. In the previous step, add last Figma frame separately by directly exporting it from Figma as a PDF (since this is the only slide that contains links which would otherwise not be clickable)

  6. Compress unified PDF, e.g. with PDF verkleinern. Gleiche Qualität bei geringerer Größe)


Looking forward to hearing your thoughts & ideas!
