Translation Software for .pdf files

I have an instruction book in French which I want to translate to English in pdf format, I have Adobe reader 9 and can dump the text into a primitive translation software which is only suitable for Hi and Hello use, which loses the guide images.
I have seen $400 software which can handle this problem but is there anything better?
Many thanks for any help from David.

We  are still very, very far from seeing a decent automatic translation program, so I wouldn't expect much in that respect. Also, PDF files are sort of terminal files, no meant for further manipulation, so it is not at all easy to reconstruct the original file from which a PDF file was made. I have read of some programs that claim to do this, or at least to convert them in Word files, but don't know if they are up to what they claim. Finally, translating directly in a copy of the PDF file is simply a nightmare.
Can't you contact the author of the PDF and try to obtain a copy of the file from which thePDF was made? This seems to me the easiest and most reliable way of doing what you want.

  • Firefox preview for pdf files doesn't show certain Cyrillic scripts.

    Since pdf preview support was added in Firefox I can't find a solution for the missing Cyrillic letters in the preview of the pdfs which the software in my company generates.
    Other pdf software/browsers with preview don't have issues with the Cyrillic script regardless of localization and OS as the fonts are embedded in the pdf.
    Can you please help with finding some documentation to use as a reference point for finding the solution for this issue?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

    Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

    The point is that, like all licensed software, you need permission to redistribute it in any form. So the question is: is that permission granted? If you can find anywhere that grants it that's fine.
    Adobe used to give out such permission back in the days of Reader 1, 2, 3... but I believe it was long ago removed. There is a strong reason to do this today: third party redistributors aren't likely to be hot on updating to new versions etc. There is a more cynical view: Adobe would also lose such benefits as it might get from offering dubious "extras" with the download. Finally, and strongly - if anyone can distribute it, these days who can tell who has the real product and who has a malware impersonator?

  • How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
    So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
    Can any one tell me about this?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
    It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

  • PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

    I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
    Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

    I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • Color Display for PDF Files Creative Cloud in Browser View

    I have noticed that there is a great difference in color display between a PDF and .ai/eps files. When viewed in the browser there seems to be no ICC taking affect for PDF files even though options to include the profiles, etc in output were selected. This makes it hard to use as a tool when showing clients proofs via the browser as they will never see proper color. I know color will vary between monitors but the difference is huge for some colors. Like a dark almost Navy Blue appearing like a vibrant pen ink blue. On a Mac when you use the quick spacebar preview the correct color shows for all versions of file type but in the browsers it shows the color incorrectly. Have tried this so far on the Mac in in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Even Google Drive can display all the file types correctly with correct color although the way it shows eps files is a bit off. That I don't mind as I rarely save eps files anymore.
    Is there something I am missing or is this a defect in the browser display?
    The other possible option would be to flip my thinking and save everything as .ai files with PDF compatibility turned on and then have to tell clients that they should be able to open that ai file in Acrobat. At the moment I save everything as PDF files with Illustrator compatibility turned on.

    Can anyone throw light on this. I'm facing same problem.

  • [GNOME], [Firefox] (still) defaults to GIMP for PDF files

    I've installed Arch Linux with GNOME twice this past year, on both i686 and x86-64 systems. Both times, I've installed GNOME with it's default PDF reader, Evince, as well as GIMP for image editing (of course). Firefox, regardless of my preferences in Nautilus, only gives me the option of opening PDF files in GIMP (as opposed to saving them). If I save the file and open it from the downloads window, it opens in GIMP, but if I download it and then open it directly in Nautilus, then it opens in Evince without any problems. Of course, I could work around this and simply add /usr/bin/evince to the list of programs for PDF files, but I would have to do this for every single user that I add before Firefox is reasonably usable for downloading PDFs.
    There was a thread on this a while ago, but it's closed now so I can't add to it. This is still a problem in 2011 and before I report this as a bug anywhere, we'd have to figure out the exact cause of the problem: is it GNOME, GIMP, Firefox, or something else entirely that causes this? How could I fix this so I don't have to use a messy workaround?
    Oh, also, after installing GIMP, it's treated as the default application for PDF files regardless of GNOME's default preferences. Evince is listed but GIMP "hijacks" it in a sense. This is fixable in Nautilus easily, but it shouldn't have to be a necessary step.

    I never knew that about GNOME. Mimeopen did fix the problem for me. Thanks very much!

    I dont know if this is what your talking about but..

    I mentioned that I tried this and it works fine, but I don't want to have to do that workaround on every single account I make. The workaround suggested, as I said, works well enough.
    So if I understand this correctly, this is a Firefox bug?

  • Firefox 17.0 for Mac OS X missing Preferences- Applications- Preview Doc (application/PDF) entry to set behavior for PDF files

    I want to set Firefox to automatically download or save a PDF without the panel coming up to ask me. However, when I go to Firefox->Preferences->Applications there is no entry for PDF files to set it to open or save the file without asking me (i.e., no Preview Document (application/PDF).
    I am using Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have .pdf associated with Preview. The issue is that in Firefox->Preferences-> Application tab does NOT contain an entry for Preview Document ((application/PDF) which is needed to do an association that will occur automatically every time Firefox encounters a doc of that type. (the application tab has Preview Document (image/<6 types>) but no entry for the PDF format.

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files?

    I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

    What version of Photoshop are you running?  You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014.  Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
    If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.
