Hi,

I have a pdf file to translate. It has text. pictures, etc. It has to be delivered in the pdf format.

I am familiar with the conversion from pdf to doc. My question is:
how can I convert the doc file and the pictures back to pdf keeping the original format.

Thanks in advance for the help.

pdf converters or adobe utility Feb 3, 2004

There are several pdf converters available and there is also the online conversion utility at https://createpdf.adobe.com/index.pl/4223682526.89479?BP=IE

Anyway, you'll need to keep the format in your word document so this is reproduced when it is converted back to pdf.

Regards,
Grace

The client may not know what is involved Feb 3, 2004

It is quite possible that the original document was created with a desktop publishing program, in which case reproducing the original format using Word will be a thankless task. Make sure you charge for both the translation and the time it takes to get the format to resemble the original.

Acrobat writer Feb 3, 2004

Hi ,
You can use the Acrobat writer and the Acrobat distiller .. If you have them , I can tell you about the procedures .. Yet to keep the original format , you have to keep it first on the doc file ..
If it is urgent and they are few pages , I can do them for you ..

Yours ,
Joseph Samir
