PDF export functionality to embed fonts

I’m having trouble exporting PDFs of frames. Do you know if the export functionality embeds the fonts? I will import the generated pdf frame into another work that requires to be PDF/A compliant, so I need the font embedded in the frame in the first place. I tried with Adobe Reader, and it does not say “embedded”, which is usually a sign that it’s not. I tried with another software (Okular), and it does say “fully embedded”.

This seems crucial to me. PDFs are not truly “portable” unless fonts are embedded. Can’t have the fonts and the layout changing. I’m saying this as I’ve just sent my case studies to a hiring manager via PDF 🤦‍♂️

Hello! I am also supporting this feature release! We are trying to extract font data from design mockups exported in pdf for font validation tasks

Hey guys, is there any update on this becoming part of the roadmap? The community plugins for PDF exporting are great and all, but it would be really helpful to have this built in to Figma’s PDF exporter so we can really get the file sizes down. Consider this another upvote for it 😄

@djv Bringing this up again. The community needs portable PDFs! Can you please give us an update on if this is being built?

Hey All, thanks again for the feedback!

This is on our team’s radar, but there hasn’t been enough interest from the community to prioritize building this functionality. While it isn’t on our immediate roadmap, the team will continue to monitor this topic for future consideration.

We are interested in this too @djv !
