How to translate a PDF into any language

Are you looking forward to translating your PDF documents into OCR documents? Then, look no further as I have got your back.

In this piece, I’ll share how you can use PDFBear’s PDF converter tool to translate PDF to OCR documents. Also, I’ll cover why to translate PDF, how to do it via Google Translator, and everything in between.

So, let’s get started.

Why Translate PDF to OCR Documents

Translating a PDF to an OCR document makes it easy and straightforward to edit the doc.

Basically, OCR software scans the images of PDF pages for text. Then, it converts the digital text into machine-readable characters, then words, and then sentences.

Converting PDF to OCR docs eliminates the need to copy the text manually. You just need to drag and drop the file in the software and wait for it to translate the file into an editable document.

Imagine you have a bunch of PDF files. Now, you have to edit some parts of the text in all of them. Using a PDF editor would consume an ample amount of time. Instead, you can translate them to OCR documents and then easily do the deed.

Translate A PDF Into Any Language Using Google Translator

Do you know? Google Translator lets you translate a PDF into any language?

Head towards translate.google.com and then click on the Documents tab. Now, select your PDF by clicking on the blue Browse your computer button. After that, select and upload your PDF file.

Choose the language you want to translate the PDF on the right-hand side. Then, click on the blue translate button. Wait for a few seconds to let Google Translator do its magic trick. Once it’s done, click on the blue Download translation button.

Google Translator not working correctly? Don’t worry! You can use our in-house tools to translate your PDF file into OCR documents.
