Confirmed two-step workflow

The vendor's guide instructs users to apply OCR to a scanned PDF, open Document Translation, select source and target languages and then run translation. That is the exact capability needed when the source has no selectable text.

Validate the language pair and layout

Use several pages containing headings, tables and body text. Compare names, dates, numbers and specialist terms with the source, then check whether line expansion affects page layout.

  • Confirm source-language OCR quality.
  • Confirm the required target language.
  • Inspect tables and multi-column pages.
  • Review sensitive content manually.

Plan limits matter

The official plan comparison distinguishes ordinary PDF features from value-added and on-demand functions. Check current AI or translation limits at checkout if your workload is large.

Limits to check before paying

  • Machine translation needs human review for legal, medical or financial documents.
  • Complex layouts may shift after translation.
  • AI and translation allowances can differ by plan.
