Translate Pdf

Translates PDF documents into another language while preserving the original layout, colors, and background styling.

What it does

The skill extracts the unique text strings from a PDF, has the agent build a JSON mapping of original to translated text, and then applies that mapping back into the PDF. It ships two Python scripts: one for extraction and one for applying translations with a chosen font. The result is a new translated PDF with the original structure and styling retained.

When to use it

Use it when a user wants a PDF translated into another language, converted from one language to another, or turned into a translated copy of the original document. It suits requests such as translating a PDF into Chinese, English, or Japanese.

Requirements

Python runtime to run the two bundled scripts, plus a PDF input file and a translations JSON file. Font selection depends on the target language (Latin, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or Korean).
