Hello,

I've just had an offer for translating some (actually many) Tab-files edited with Adobe Table 3.0 (part of Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 which I own.

Is it possible to translate this files using Trados 6.5 Freelance exporting them to some format? In alternative I have Déjà Vu X Pro. I used Trados' Storycollector for Quarkxpress files some time ago... it worked very well. Is this possible for Adobe Table files too?

Thanks a lot!

Let me know if this helps, since Story Collector won't work for tables alone. ▲ Collapse
