Features

Built to keep your document intact.

Most translators flatten a PDF into a wall of text. PDFPal rebuilds the translated file to mirror the original — page for page, element for element.

01 — Layout preserved

Every column, table and margin exactly where it was

PDFPal separates the visual layout from the text, then re-anchors the translation onto the original layout and rescales each paragraph to fit its box.

Multi-column reading order kept
Headers, footers & page numbers in place
Page-for-page parity with the source
02 — Formulas intact

Equations are masked, never mangled

Before translating, PDFPal detects math, sub/superscripts and inline notation and masks each as a placeholder. The text translates around them, and the formulas drop back in verbatim.

Inline & display equations preserved
Sub/superscripts & symbols untouched
03 — And everything else
›_ OCR

Scanned & image PDFs

Optional OCR reads scanned and image-based documents so they translate just like born-digital PDFs.

Glossary

Consistent terminology

Automatic term extraction keeps key vocabulary consistent across a 200-page document. Bring your own glossary too.
