PDF and Image Files​

PDF (scanned or native) and image files are converted into editable text using optical character recognition (OCR).

The translated file is delivered as a .docx document with basic layout preserved.

For best results

  • Use clear, high-resolution files (300 dpi recommended).
  • Avoid very small text or decorative fonts.
  • Complex layouts may require manual adjustment after translation.

Formatting considerations

Because file conversion involves layout reconstruction:

  • Tables, diagrams, or structured elements may shift.
  • Fonts are replaced with similar system fonts.
  • Headers, footers, and advanced formatting may need minor correction.
