How to prepare a PDF for translation

The process of handling a PDF for translation begins with opening the document and assessing its quality by zooming in. If the PDF becomes blurry upon zooming, this indicates that the document is flattened or a scanned image, necessitating its recreation for translation. In contrast, if the document maintains clarity, the next step involves checking the file properties to identify the application used to generate the PDF.

Depending on whether the document was created in Word, InDesign, Illustrator, Canva, or another application, you will need to request the appropriate source file from the client. If the client cannot provide the source file, I can expertly recreate the document for translation using the same source software that generated the PDF, ensuring that all content is accurately captured and formatted for a seamless translation process.

If the source file is available, I will prepare it for translation, optimizing the text content and ensuring that it meets the necessary standards for multilingual projects. My goal is to provide you with high-quality, efficient DTP services that enhance your translation workflow and deliver polished results.
