Document Translation.
I have a number of Spanish documents that I need to translate. Every FREE Document Translator that I've tried on the web doesn't work!
I can only scan them as Adobe PDF and this seems to confuse all the online translators.
Does anyone know a website that actually works?
Many Thanks for any advice.

Re: Document Translation.
Are you able to copy text from the pdf file (or scanned file) and paste into Word? If not, it sounds like you've scanned in a graphics file, albeit one that has images of text. You need to use OCR scanning to create text that can be edited or translated, and then place it into Word or text docs. More here:

Good luck.

Re: Document Translation.
As Steve says you have scanned it as a pic and not text.
