ive received some files for the equipment i use but there in german, opens up as a pdf file anything i can do?

 

oops wrong post lol

 

far as i know a PDF is like a scan of a piece of paper, it cant be changed.

 

Doesn't a PDF file use Adobe?

 

can,t you copy and paste sections into a translator like babelfish or do you need the whole document doing.

 

open it up with adobe acorat reader and then learn German

free down load from adobe.

 

Acrobat Reader 8

You can save files as text.

File > Save as text

 

PDF's can now be edited by a piece of software called pitstop. Works very well when files have been sent over and they decide they need changes doing to it. There may be a language converter on their website.

maybe print it, then scan it using OCR (if you've got a scanner) and put that into a translator.

 

You would need to read it very carefully after using OCR software as sometimes it can misread text.

 

hmmn yes might be able to copy paste sections in as there all quite small

 

use an online convertor... simple as

mate that online convertor doesnt convert language?

 

convert the pdf to a text document then throw it into bablefish, or just copy and paste the information into it if that's possible and translate it

sorry i first throught you meant file type translation, not language... my mistake
