Show HN: PDFidelity – Translate PDFs while preserving the original layout
3 days ago
- PDFidelity is a tool for translating academic PDFs while preserving original formatting, including two-column layouts, tables, citations, and formulas.
- The process involves three steps: upload a PDF, automatically translate it, and read the bilingual version side-by-side.
- It targets graduate students, researchers, and journal clubs who need to read foreign-language papers, and is not suitable for scanned documents, marketing layouts, or legal translations.
- Files are automatically deleted within 5 days, and output is a dual PDF (original + translated) for easy comparison.
- Pricing plans include free 15 pages, then Read (200 pages/month, 50 per translation), Study (750 pages, 50 per), and Research (1500 pages, 100 per), with support for PDFs up to 100 MB.
