A supplier sends a contract in German. A colleague shares a report in Spanish. You need the gist — or a full, readable translation — without retyping anything into a translator. AI PDF translation turns the whole document into your language in one step, and you can choose whether to keep the original look or get clean, readable text.
Two ways to translate
- Keep the layout: the translated text is placed in the same positions as the original, preserving the design. Best for forms, brochures and anything where structure matters.
- Reflowed text: you get clean, continuous translated text. Best for long documents you just need to read, since translations are rarely the exact length of the source and can crowd a fixed layout.
How to translate a PDF
- Open the Translate PDF tool and upload your file.
- Choose the target language (40 are supported).
- Pick layout-preserving or reflowed text.
- Download the translated PDF.
Getting the best result
- Use a text-based PDF. If you can select the words in the file, they can be translated. A photo or pure scan needs OCR first.
- Match the mode to the document. Reflowed text for reports and articles; layout mode for structured pages.
- Review high-stakes text. AI translation is excellent for understanding, but have a fluent speaker check anything legal or contractual before you rely on it.
