Hi everyone 👋

One thing that has always bothered me about Figma’s native PDF export is that it converts all text into outlines. 
TrueText PDF fixes that.Select one or more frames, hit export, and get a PDF where every word is selectable, searchable, and copy-paste ready — just like a Word doc.

Features:

• Selectable & searchable text in exported PDFs

• Pixel-perfect positioning — text overlays match your design exactly

• Bold and mixed-style text fully supported

• Multi-page export — select multiple frames and export as a single PDF

• Drag to reorder pages before exporting

• Sort pages by name

    Doesn’t work with decks made via Figma Make. Please improve

    This has worked remarkably well, and it is a much needed plugin! the only issue i had was the plugin struggled to export all of my frames (60+) so had to split it into smaller batches then combine the PDFs in acrobat.

     

    Thank you!!
