Hi Michel Cote , 
 
I think there are two things that may help here. 
 
The first relates to your version of Microsoft Office. If you have an older version of Office it may be that asking someone with a recent version to open the file, resave it and give it back to you will resolve the problem. I can do this for you if you are ok to share it with me? email it to pfilkin@sdl.com 
 
The other thing, if the first is not the problem, would be try the following: 
 
1. Open the PDF in Studio as a single file document translation 
2. Immediately close the file. 
3. You'll find a Word file in the same folder as the PDF 
4. Tidy up the Word file (maybe TransTools or something like that) and translate the Word file instead of the PDF 
5. Use your TM to pre-translate the file and save the target 
 
If the problem is the first one then the second is probably not going to help. 
 
Regards

Hi Michel Cote 
 Thanks for sending me the files. I solved it with this: 
 1. Open the PDF in Studio as a single file document translation 2. Immediately close the file. 3. You'll find a Word file in the same folder as the PDF 4. Tidy up the Word file (maybe TransTools or something like that) and translate the Word file instead of the PDF 5. Use your TM to pre-translate the file and save the target Then just in case you have the first problem I mentioned I opened the target in Word 2016, then resaved it with another name. Let me know if you can open it.
