IRIS

I tried to use IRIS to recognize texts on my pdf file, but it didn’t workTrados Studio screenshot showing the Options window with PDF selected and a preview of 'children books.pdf' file. The 'Use IRIS technology for optical character recognition' option is checked.

    I think this is an example of a PDF that should be handled outside of Trados Studio to create a translatable file you can work with.  I had problems using Acrobat to edit this file, and in Word I get this message:

    Error message in Microsoft Word stating 'We're having trouble opening this PDF. It exceeds the maximal page size supported by Word. (C:UserspflinkDownloadschildren books.pdf)' with an OK button.

    Given the Studio PDF filetype uses Word as it converts the file to DOCX first this may be a related problem.

    I think your best bet for a file like this is to use something like Abbyy Finereader, or even a tool like https://pdfsimpli.com/ which will allow you to edit the source with text you can use in a translatable file.

    Unfortunately PDF files can require a lot of work to translate and it is always best to try and get the original source file for translation.
