What makes a good PDF file translation

Layout reconstruction

PDFs store text as positioned elements, without any logical flow – a good translation reconstructs reading order before a single word is changed.

Scanned documents

Scanned PDFs contain no machine-readable text. OCR must extract content accurately before translation can begin.

Embedded fonts

Target language characters – Cyrillic, CJK scripts, special diacritics – may not be supported by the original font. This needs handling before output.

Multi-column complexity

Footnotes, headers and multi-column layouts are frequently extracted in the wrong order by basic tools. Sequence matters.

SECURITY

Your PDF files never leave Swiss infrastructure

PDF is the standard format for contracts, government filings, financial reports and medical documents: some of the most sensitive content that businesses manage. Adobe Acrobat’s online translation function and most PDF translation tools process files on US or non-European servers. Supertext processes your PDFs exclusively on Swiss servers – with no data storage after download.
