Additional Tips for Better PDF Export

 Optimize PDF File Size

Large files? Try these tricks:
Use vector graphics instead of raster images.
Optimize image assets before adding them to Figma.
Compress the final PDF using tools like Adobe Acrobat or Smallpdf.

 Ensure Proper PDF Layout

If your exported PDF looks off:
Check for frame clipping or hidden elements.
Align frames properly in the Layers panel before exporting.
Use consistent page sizes to avoid misalignment.

 Export in High Quality for Printing
