Hello Olga,

The issue you're experiencing with PDF documents not converting into Word could be due to several reasons. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot:

Step 1: Ensure you're using the latest version of Trados Studio. You can check for updates within the application.

Step 2: Try to convert a different PDF file to Word. If the issue persists with multiple files, it might be a software issue. If it's only happening with a specific file, the issue might be with that particular PDF.

Step 3: If you have the original document that was used to create the PDF, such as a Word file or an InDesign document, try to translate that directly. This could save you a significant amount of work.

Step 4: If the original document is not available, you may need to manually edit the Word document generated from the PDF to correct formatting issues before starting the translation process. Tools like Trans Tools from the RWS AppStore can assist in cleaning up the document.

Remember, PDFs are not always the best source format for translation due to potential formatting issues. If possible, always try to obtain the original source file for translation.
