Useful next steps

Summarize a PDF into a short overview of its contentsGet a short summary of readable PDF text. Check figures, dates and statements against the original and pay attention to notices about selected passages.
Ask questions about a PDF and check the answers in contextAsk specific questions about readable PDF content. Use the text answer as a starting point and check relevant passages and any limited-context notices.
Extract PDF pages into one separate documentSave selected PDF pages together as a new PDF. Choose individual pages or ranges and keep the original file for the complete document.
PDF OCR: make scanned text searchableRecognize printed German or English text in PDF scans. Add a searchable text layer and check the recognized content.

Expect translated text rather than a redesigned PDF

The tool translates extracted wording, not the visual page design. It does not replace labels inside pictures or create a translated PDF with the original layout. The target follows the selected interface language, with eleven languages available. If you need a carefully formatted document to distribute, transfer the reviewed translation into an appropriate source document afterward.

Choose the relevant passage yourself

Load individual pages or a range such as 1,3-5 into the text field. Edit the passage there or paste your own text. The visible character count helps you stay within the 12,000-character limit. Longer inputs remain intact; translation becomes available when you select less text yourself. Download the reviewed result as TXT if needed. Image-only scans need OCR beforehand. Check reading order and tables because errors in the source text can carry into the translation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose a target independently of the interface language?

The target currently follows the interface language. Select the language you need before translating and check the task label in the AI panel.

Is the result a certified or professionally approved translation?

No. It is an AI-generated text translation for you to review. If certification or specialist approval is required, arrange that as a separate review process.
