How to Translate a PDF with AI in Foxit PDF Editor
This video tutorial shows you how to translate a PDF into another language while keeping the original layout, fonts, and formatting fully intact using Foxit PDF Editor's AI Translate Document tool. You'll see how to choose a target language, translate the complete document in one pass, and review the result side-by-side with the original.
Translating a document usually means copying content into another tool and rebuilding the layout from scratch. Foxit PDF Editor's Translate Document feature handles the entire PDF at once — layout, fonts, headers, footers, tables, and images all stay exactly where they were — so legal, HR, and global operations teams can share accurate translated documents without extra formatting work.
Translate Any Document Without Losing Its Layout
This video is ideal for:
- Legal teams reviewing cross-border contracts in multiple languages
- HR teams sharing onboarding guides with global employees
- Global operations teams distributing localized product manuals
- Any team that regularly shares documents across language barriers
- Anyone who needs an accurate translation without rebuilding the layout
