Need a PDF in another language? PdfPeaks Translate PDF is a free online PDF translator: upload the file, pick a target language (130+ options), and download an editable Word (.docx) with layout preserved where possible.
This guide covers the general workflow for any language pair — English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, and more — plus when to run OCR first. It is not a certified translation for courts or embassies.
Before you translate
- Digital PDF: Selectable text translates best.
- Scanned PDF: Run Make PDF Searchable first — see the OCR guide.
- Output format: You get DOCX, not a PDF. Use Word to PDF after edits if a portal requires PDF.
