Text in resume pdf doesn't copy and paste correctly

You can view the resume here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e598d652e61426f796744d1/t/6447a040677c5618828f7c33/1682415681307/Chasen_Lee_Resume.pdf

Hey Chasen! Thanks for flagging this. Can you clarify if the issue (copy and paste the text) happens after you export the PDF from Figma? If so, we can investigate on our end.

(If this PDF was not exported from Figma, the issue would be from the PDF source instead of Figma.)

Hi, yes the issue only occurs after exporting the pdf from Figma. Copy and pasting the text from inside Figma has no issues.

I mostly fixed it by moving the properties to a new frame and retyping some of the text, but a couple letters are still not correct.

Thank you for confirming! I’ve escalated internally to the engineering team to investigate the issue - while I cannot set an ETA yet for the fix at this time.

Ensure that the font used in their username are properly included in the PDF file. When font are not attached then PDF viewer can change the font result in character are missing and misspelling.

Hi everyone! Thank you for sharing a workaround @johntk22!

To be transparent, we’re not actively investing in our PDF Export quality now, but it would be helpful to have a copy of your file so our engineering team can investigate further to implement a fix in the near future. It’s in our radar!

I’ve experienced the same issue and managed to resolve it with this amazing plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1255146474787882010/pdf-export-with-text-and-vector-objects

PDF also ends up being smaller which is neat.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve tried this plugin too and it works great

same problem. The plug-in suggested above allows for 5 free exports.
