Why do you need an “editable” PDF translator?
Traditional auto translators often break the original layout or produce overlapping text that’s hard to read. For professional documents (papers, contracts, manuals), preserving layout is as important as translation quality.
This tool combines the speed of AI translation with precise human editing. Even if translated text isn’t placed perfectly, you can drag it into position and create a professional-grade document in about a minute.
It also supports image-based “scanned PDFs”: OCR converts images to text data so you can translate and edit. Localize PDFs end-to-end without tedious rework.
Supported languages and translation quality
Powered by the latest AI language models, it supports translation across almost all major language pairs worldwide. (e.g., English→Korean, Chinese→French, etc.)
Even complex context and technical terms are translated smoothly via “Auto-detect language.” If you’re not satisfied, you can instantly refine the result in the editing panel.
- Pro tip For legal terms and proper nouns, a quick manual review in the panel after auto-translation usually makes the result much more natural.
- Layout tip If the translation becomes longer and overflows the box, reduce the font size or expand the box to preserve the design.
The translation sounds awkward or contains errors.+
AI translation can miss context. The biggest advantage of this tool is “editing.” Click an awkward sentence, rewrite it naturally, and save.
Guide to translating scanned documents (image PDFs)
If text in the PDF can’t be dragged, it’s a “scanned document” made of images. In that case, be sure to enable the [Include OCR] option.
The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine converts text in images into editable text, then runs the translation.
- Enter the document’s languages accurately in the OCR settings (e.g., kor+eng) to improve recognition accuracy.
- Old scans or handwriting may be hard to recognize; in that case, use “Add new text box” to type the content manually.
How to use editing and export features
Every text box in the editor can be freely moved, resized, and deleted.
Your finished document is saved as a standard PDF and works anywhere, including Adobe Reader and Chrome.
