Currently exported .PDFs out of Figma are not accessible, because the text is flattened as images.


I would like to request an option for exported .PDFs to have editable text.


This would be a game changer for our team to move off of Sketch! 😃 (Sketch allows for .PDFs to export with editable text, but Figma does not)

+1 🙏🏾 maybe we can see this in the following thursdays? 😅


Please Figma Please

Just created this resume template and wanted to export, but it did not work 😭


I hope this helps. But we need this feature please!


Great idea!


Extremely important feature - should actually be a standard feature.


Really needing this feature for accessibility readers.


Hi,

I have exported your portfolio with our plugin MKitFPdf and it has worked so far.

However, I can’t find the font you used anywhere

“Figtree Light” as Black,Bold,Light,…, there is only “Figtree”, is this a private font?



I am not OP but figtree font family is available here Figtree - Google Fonts


We need this feature!!


We need this feature!!


+1 for unflattened PDFs. 🥲


+1 agree! Please enable editable text for exports. It would be a game changer.


Had this problem recently. The long way around it is to export each page as .svg then import them into Adobe Illustrator and then only save out the .pdf


I had multiple pages across 10 pdfs but I made it 🙂

Just make sure to uncheck “Outline Text”


At least text is preserved with this workaround. Thanks for sharing!

Please!! Why did you remove this feature. It was one of the best things in Figma!
