Hello,
Spanish to English Help and orientation
I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on the following: I need to
translate a PDF file (heavily laden with images on each page) with Trados
and return a new PDF file to my client maintaining the same format and
layout.
Software:
What software do I need to recreate (or edit) a PDF file?
I don't own Adobe Acrobat (just the reader) and won't be purchasing it soon
as it's rather expensive.
I do however own a program that extracts the text and images for me
(Solidpdf) but I'm now working on a file that has really heavy images, and
therefore I can't use my extracting program this time round as some of the
pages weigh over 100MB in Word. Normally this program directly extracts
the text to Word which you can then translate with Trados without problem.
Seemingly my client drew up the PDF file in Freehand which I also own. I've
opened the PDF with this program but each sentence is in a separate text
box and it would take me forever to edit each individual segment.
I'd greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks!

Framemaker/QuarkExpress and then translate and reconvert the text using
this tool? If Trados supports Framemaker, does anyone know what to do
with texts written with Freehand (just in case!)
Thanks once again.
