If you want to understand how tricky it can be to extract text from PDF, try it for yourself. You need to check though that all text has been found and filtered. You have no control on what these filters are doing, but when it is working, you have a no-brainer solution. I guess some other CATs are also capable of opening some PDFs. As far as I know SDL Studio, Alchemy Publisher, MateCat and Wordfast Pro use a third-party PDF-to-DOC conversion tool that they have integrated as a filter. I like how Jost Zetzsche described it in his 176th ToolKit newsletter. Can your translation tool (CAT) handle it?įirst thing to try is opening the file straight in your CAT. Sometimes your customer only has a PDF, and go have to get your hands dirty, no matter what. Rule number one is always to ask for the source document and work on that. We all know we should not translate PDF files.
