Translating PDF files without messing up the document's format can be a hassle.

Created this after noticing how most PDF translation tools either ruin the layout or require API keys to use: https://www.pdfequips.com/translate-pdf

The main differentiator is preserving the original formatting while translating text.

Works entirely in-browser, Supports PDFs and Word docs.

Would appreciate any feedback on the implementation.

I built what I thought was a simple PDF generator: type a prompt, get a file. But users kept asking "can I edit this first?"

Turns out nobody wants a black box that spits out final documents. They want to see what's being generated and have control over it.

So I rebuilt it with a live editor. Now you prompt for content, it generates a draft in real-time, and you can edit directly in a clean word-processor interface before downloading.

The interesting part: the editing layer became more valuable than the generation itself.Users treat it less like "AI that makes PDFs" and more like "AI that gives me a head start on documents I actually want to create."

I'm building a high-performance PDF design tool that feels just as fast as native software. I always wanted to build this tool, but I kept putting it off—finally did it!

My goal was to create a full-fledged PDF editor that allows you to modify text, images, and the layout inside your PDFs.

I also wanted to support both scanned and non-scanned PDF files.

it's still not perfect and not 100% ready yet, but I think some people might find it useful.

If you have time, please try again, it's still not 100% but I'll see what I can do tomorrow.
