Translate PDF layout

Cover the original letters and draw the translation in the same place. The page size stays. This is one PDF in, one PDF out.

How to translate a PDF and keep the page

  1. Choose the PDF. It needs real text, not only a picture of the page.
  2. Pick a Latin language such as Spanish, French, or German.
  3. Click Translate on the page. This uses one translate job.
  4. Download the PDF. The words sit where the original lines were.

Features

Same page

The original PDF is kept. A new letter-size document is not built.

Latin languages

English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, and Indonesian can be drawn. Other languages stay on Translate PDF as text.

One job

The whole document is one translate request. That request uses 5 jobs or credits.

Best effort

A longer translation is shrunk to fit the line. Pictures and colored backgrounds can show a white patch where the old words were.

Selectable text

Scanned pages are not read here. Run OCR PDF first, then come back.

A limit

The first 20 pages and 120 lines are included. Later pages stay in the original language.

What this page does

Translate PDF already returns the words, or a new plain PDF. This page is for the search that asks to keep the original page.

Each line is covered and rewritten with a standard Latin font. Columns, stamps, and photos are not rebuilt. Rotated lines are skipped.

The text of those lines is sent for translation. The PDF file itself is rewritten in your browser after the translation comes back.
