Hi, I have some PDF files to translate. It does not import those files and after just reading an older message here, it seems it is because OmegaT does not support pdf files and I would have to convert them somehow prior to importing them. Is that information still correct? What is the best way to go about that in your experience? thanks in advance for any help! |

Yes, if the customer wants to go through the DTP process again, which is the best solution for publication, that's what I do too. Convert to plain text, either with pdftotext, save as text from Adobe Reader, or OCR with Abbyy Finereader. But if the customer just wants a translation "for information" with the layout the same as the original, translating the PDF in Infix is preferable in my experience to having to recreate the formatting and layout, e.g. in Word.

Try Open/Libre Office, with the Import PDF extension, just open PDF file and save it as odg file and translate it in OmegaT. przemek W dniu 12.09.2012 18:45, Anthony Baldwin pisze: > > On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 12:15 PM, Marc Prior <mail@... > <mailto:mail%40marcprior.de>> wrote: > > > Yes, if the customer wants to go through the DTP process again, which is > > the best solution for publication, that's what I do too.

I just use pdftotext, if they are text pdf files. If they are scanned/image files, I do not use OmegaT. OCR always makes more of a mess than is worth cleaning up, I find. So, in such cases, I read the pdf and type into openoffice, doing my best to mirror the format of the source doc. tony On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 9:31 AM, noob_at_work_here < contentnotwords@...> wrote: > awesome! cheers Marc!!! > > > --- In Om...@ya..., Marc Prior <mail@...> wrote: > > > > www.omegat.org/en/howtos/iceni_infix.html > > > > > > HTH, > > > > Marc > > > > > > > > On 05/17/2012 02:26 PM, noob_at_work_here wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I have some PDF files to translate. > > > It does not import those files and after just reading an older message > here, it seems it is because OmegaT does not support pdf files and I would > have to convert them somehow prior to importing them. > > > Is that information still correct? > > > What is the best way to go about that in your experience? > > > thanks in advance for any help! > > > > > > > > > -- http://www.baldwinlinguas.com translations, interpreting, localization and multilingual web design EN, ES, FR, PT [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

> the PDFs that I receive are 99% of the scanned type. I cases like that (if it makes sense to translate the document with Omegat and if it's worth the effort) I use pdfimages to extract the images and then Yagf (Tesseract) for OCR. The results are quite good. Sure, it's a Linux solution, but I suppose one can find similar tools for other platforms too. |

If you want to OCR scanned PDFs, Abbyy Finereader (a Linux version is available) is much, much better than Tesseract.

Apologies if this is a little too far off-topic, but does anyone have any experience with ABBYY's online OCR service? http://finereader.abbyyonline.com/en I haven't so far received enough scanned pdfs for it to seem worth my while buying the full Linux license, while I lost the trial license key following a re-install of my OS. I'm wondering idly whether this might be a viable alternative.

You can always Import PDF into odg (OpenOffice or LibreOffice). You can convert pdf into svg files. OmegaT working well with odg and svg files regards przemek Dnia 2012-05-17, czw o godzinie 12:26 +0000, noob_at_work_here pisze: > > Hi, > > I have some PDF files to translate. > It does not import those files and after just reading an older message > here, it seems it is because OmegaT does not support pdf files and I > would have to convert them somehow prior to importing them. > Is that information still correct? > What is the best way to go about that in your experience? > thanks in advance for any help! > > > > > |

Dear Przemek, How do you import a PDF into odg? I only see an option to export into PDF from OOo or LibreOffice. And when you say convert PDF into svg files, what software is used? Could you provide more details, please? Thanks a lot.

For Open/Libre Office you have to install PDF import http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport for long documents (Instruction Manuals etc.). The imported pdf need some work, but when you doing complex pdf from scratch it takes more time. for svg, I use Inkscape http://inkscape.org Inkscape working well for leaflets or complex pdf, import only one page per file. Just install and try it. regards Przemek Dnia 2012-05-19, sob o godzinie 22:45 +0000, tradutorabras pisze: > > Dear Przemek, > How do you import a PDF into odg?

Przemek, I will download and try the PDF extension you mentioned. Now, for the Inkscape, it may not be ideal for my PDFs (due to one page per file limitation), but I noticed that it works with Adobe Illustrator format, and this will be very handy to handle .ai format. Thanks a lot.

I've installed the OO plugin - and can open a pdf and within reason edit some of the text, but not all of it - but how do I now export/save this as a new PDF? The only save options I can find are as various OO Drawing files or Star Office files.
