Hi Figma team,

At the company I work for, we often send design PDFs to clients who aren't familiar with Figma prototypes. Email is our main channel, but exported PDFs are often way too large—even when using the TinyImage compressor plugin, which is slow and not always effective.

It would be incredibly helpful to have:

An option to disable font embedding.

Basic PDF compression settings (e.g. image quality).

A way to export text as vectors without manually outlining everything.

Improving PDF export would really ease delivery for teams who rely on email-based workflows. Thanks!

I have the same problem, I am trying to export a leaflet that is meant to be distributed online, and 45 pages are 250 mb, it is insane! I tried all the possible plugins, but the minimum size I got is 180 mb which is still waaay too large! 

Is there a way to get a sane file size without ditching Figma alltogether and rebuilding it in Indesign?
