PDF-export options / different handling of links in the exported PDF?

I have just realised that the links in my slides document (anchor to certain slides/pages) are still present in the exported PDF but: Unfortunately they no longer link to the specific pages but to my Figma Slides file in editor mode. This means that viewers can read my notes even without an Figma-Accout.

It would be very helpful if this bug (if it is one) is fixed or at least to get more options when exporting as a PDF file such as the option ‘interactive’ or ‘non-interactive’.

We are having the same issue. Hoping there is resolution, but our backup plan is to build the anchor links in adobe.

I developed a plugin for slides which adresses this issue.  Its not published yet but it works. For now the main PDF export is just an background image with text on it. I have to work on that. When this is done i will publish the plugin for the community - the reason for this behaviour is that the anchor links in Slides are “just” normal weblinks after you exportet this.

I second this. Infact, a year ago I raised the same issue of how internal links are handled when exported to pdf, to which someone from the support team said that they will take the matter into consideration, but there have been no updates ever since.

It’s quite a pressing issue for a variety of reasons, and it shoudn’t even be that hard to fix (a few lines of code perhaps even I might be able to come up with), so it surprises me it hasn’t been dealt with yet.

Great suggestion on keeping internal slides-to-page links intact in exported PDFs — that would dramatically improve workflow in Figma.
