@tough osprey Did you look at figma exporting?

Figma doesn't embed fonts in the exported PDF. So, when you export into PDF, Figma inserts every single stroke of text as a SVG vector. That's what increases your file size and messes up with all the other programs. (I also made my resume from Figma, though I'm considering to redo it or something else)

PDF export - text not selectable

For anyone watching this topic, and other PDF topics. PDFs exported from Figma make it difficult or impossible to highlight and copy specific text in the resulting PDF file. Hopefully this will improve over time. As a work around, I have been using the CopyDoc Text Kit plugin which creates a MS Word document that is much easier to work with. ...

It seems that this is a known issue since years, but it is not a priority for the Figma team
