PDFTrans translates academic PDFs while aiming to preserve formulas, figures, tables, citations, and page layout.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The workflow accepts academic papers, thesis chapters, technical reports, and other scientific PDFs, then applies a selected language pair, translation engine, and page range. Users can request a translated PDF, a bilingual comparison copy, or both, with each uploaded paper tracked as a separate task. The interface advertises batches of up to five files and displays an estimate of about one credit per file for the selected range. Preservation of formulas and layout remains a stated capability rather than a verified result.
