When it comes to saving a Figma file as a PDF with multiple pages, there are a few things you need to take into account. First and foremost, make sure that each page in your Figma file is on its own layer.
Secondly, open the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Export,’ then choose ‘PDF’ from the list of options. Finally, make sure to select ‘All Pages’ in the ‘Range’ drop-down menu before clicking ‘Export’.
OR
Go to the right panel at the top right corner. Navigate to ‘Design’, look for the ‘Export’ section and make sure to change the file type to PDF.
After selecting the desired file type, click ‘Export (name of your design)’. In this example, the name of the design we’re exporting as PDF is ‘Sample design’.
Tick all the pages that you need to download as PDF.
Once you have those steps completed, your Figma file will be successfully exported as a PDF with multiple pages. You can then open the PDF and view it like any other document.
If you want to style the text in your HTML document, you can use the tags to make text bold or underlined, respectively. You can also use the tag to add paragraphs, which is helpful for breaking up large blocks of text.
Tips when exporting Figma’s PDF using the export function
- If the PDF contains any sensitive information, make sure to protect it with a passcode prior to actually sending it. But don’t forget to send the password to the document’s approved readers separately.
- Check to see that the images you’re using are either vector images as well as high-resolution raster images. When using a full-page printout, this is crucial information.
- Use the Print menu to select Landscape or Portrait orientation before printing. If the design has a wider-than-tall aspect ratio, such as 9:16, it is typically better viewed in landscape orientation.
Exporting your project as a PDF using iPhone
There is a mobile app for Figma called “Figma Mirror.” With this app, you can test out your creations on a real device and observe any resulting adjustments in real-time. To return to the designs you had open on your desktop, you need only log in using the same password and username.
While this is a handy way to monitor your improvements, Figma Mirror does not permit design changes from the mobile app. No PDF export option is available, so you can’t use your iPhone to create a backup of the design. In order to export the file as a PDF, you’ll need to do so in the desktop app before sending it to your mobile device.
Some Pros of Using Figma’s PDF Exports
PDF is great for design sharing because it preserves the original layout and formatting on all devices.
As a portable document format (PDF), it can be sent and received via email, instant message, and other means with ease. Annotating and commenting on a PDF document is a great way to give and receive feedback.
It is possible to edit PDF files either by exporting them to another format or by using a dedicated PDF editor.
Summary and Conclusion
In conclusion, saving a Figma file as a PDF with multiple pages is a fairly simple process as long as you follow the steps outlined above. Just make sure that each page is on its own layer, export as a PDF, and select ‘All Pages’ in the ‘Range’ drop-down menu. With these steps completed, you should have no problem viewing your Figma file as a PDF with multiple pages.
