Readable PDF Export

Readable PDF Export helps designers, product teams, educators, marketers, and document creators export Figma frames into PDFs that are easier to use after download.

Figma's native PDF export is excellent for visual fidelity, but text can be difficult to search, select, copy, or edit in PDF tools. This plugin keeps your Figma layout as the visual source, then adds real PDF text so the exported file behaves more like a usable document.

Use it when you need to deliver:

Complex text that should not be redrawn visually can stay preserved in the design while still being handled safely.

This approach is designed to balance visual fidelity with practical document usability.

Best ForFigma designs that need to become usable PDFsDocuments where people need to search or copy textClient PDFs that may need small text edits in AcrobatMulti-frame exports that should become one PDFNotesReadable PDF Export is designed for searchable, selectable, copyable, and Acrobat-editable PDF text. It is not intended to turn a Figma design into a fully structured Word document or a form-field PDF.

Some advanced typography, complex effects, unusual fonts, rotated text, or highly customized text treatments may be preserved visually rather than redrawn as fully editable text.
