PDF Document Translator

PDF Document Translator, operated by Innova Apps, translates documents while keeping their original layout, fonts, images and tables. It handles native and scanned PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and images such as JPG, PNG and HEIC, using optical character recognition for scanned pages and Google and Microsoft neural machine translation with automatic source-language detection. The site lists more than 130 target languages and also offers online PDF editing, conversion to and from images, splitting and merging. It is available on the web, as a Google Drive add-on and as a Microsoft Office add-in.

The tool suits people who need translated contracts, research papers, business reports, manuals or scanned forms that look like the source. The terms state that machine translation is not perfect and output should be reviewed by a person before it is relied on for legal, medical, financial or safety material. The vendor says transfers are encrypted, storage is short-lived and documents are not used to train models. Nothing was tested for this listing.

The homepage says the first translation needs no signup. According to the terms, translation is charged in credits for each target language: one credit per PDF page, Word page, Excel worksheet or PowerPoint slide, or per 3,000 characters if that is more. New accounts receive a small number of free credits, and more can be bought through a payment provider. Prices were not shown when the pricing page was loaded.
