PDF translation

Use this guide when you have a PDF in front of you and want a translated version you can actually read, compare, and share.

Before you start

• Sign in first: use an email or Google account so Doc2X can save your task history and apply your plan.
• Use the cleanest PDF you have: clear text and higher-quality scans usually produce better results.
• Check your AI Credits: Doc2X estimates the task before translation, but you still need enough available credits to begin.

Translate a PDF

1. Open Workbench.
2. Drag a PDF into the upload area, or click the upload box to choose a file.
3. Confirm the file name, size, page count, and plan limit.
4. Choose the target language.
5. Choose a translation model. The default model is the best starting point for most documents.
6. Open Advanced settings only if you need to skip content or use Enhanced translation.
7. Click Translate.
8. Open the completed task, review the translated PDF, and export when ready.

Processing stages

Stage	What Doc2X does	What you should do
Upload	Sends the source PDF for processing	Keep the tab open until upload completes
Parse	Reads text, layout, tables, figures, and formulas	Wait while Doc2X prepares the document structure
Translate	Generates the translated result with your selected options	Review the result after completion

TIP

If a translation takes longer than expected, you can open Tasks later. Completed translations are saved there, so you do not need to start over.

File size limits

Plan	PDF size limit
Free	20 MB
Starter	200 MB
Pro	500 MB

If your PDF is above your plan limit, compress it, split it into smaller PDFs, or use a plan with a higher file size limit.

Result views

Doc2X can show:

• A layout-preserved translated PDF for normal reading and export.
• A source and translated PDF comparison view for checking details.
• A text-first reading view when the completed task includes that result.

The text-first view is not a separate upload mode. It is opened inside the reader after the PDF translation is complete.
