Why translate a PDF?

Sharing across languages shouldn't mean rebuilding your document. Here's what changes when you translate the PDF itself.

Your content, in their language

Translate the whole document rather than copying and pasting it piece by piece.

  • Reach more people. Share reports, guides and notices with readers in other languages.
  • Start from the original. Work from the PDF you have instead of rebuilding it in another app.
  • Understand what you receive. Read documents sent to you in a language you don't speak.

What is PDF translation?

PDF translation takes the text in a PDF, translates it into the language you choose and puts it back into the document, so you get a translated copy that follows the original. Important legal, medical or official documents should still be checked by a qualified translator.
