Dear all,
i am working on a PDF file and when i try to save target as, i get a message "Failed to save target content: the context list is null. COuld not get the last child."
I don't understand what the problem is and what is to be done to save the file.
thanks for the support
Kind regards,
Anne
Well, yes. But everything you have translated will be re-used when you prepare the file.
If you don't want to set up a new project, you should be able to just add the file again in the existing project (after changing the file type settings of course). I would recommend to create a subfolder to avoid any file name conflicts (or re-name the file itself before you add it in Studio). This would be my approach, because I know I get the exact same settings, except the file type setting that I changed, since I use the exact same project.
1. In the Files view, switch to the source language in the drop-down list above the tree structure.
2. Right-click on the project in the tree structure, choose Add New Folder and give it a name (e.g. Re-prep or No_Hyperlinks)
3. Drag and drop the source file in Studio, right-click and choose Batch Tasks > Prepare without Project TM.
4. Switch back to the target language. Done.

OK, here we go. But you will probably notice that it is more or less the same as adjusting the settings in the existing project :)
Step 1 is to make the necessary settings in your PDF file type:
Click File > Options > File Types > PDF > Common and choose either Extract only hyperlink text or Never process hyperlinks under Extract Hyperlinks:
To translate the file:
1. In Studio, click File > Open > Translate Single Document.
2. Browse to your PDF file and click Open.
3. In the Open Document dialogue box, add the TM that you have stored the translations from your previous translation (Add > File-based Translation Memory) and click OK.
4. The file should be populated with CM matches when you move from segment to segment. When you save your translation, one SDLPROJ file and one SDLXLIFF file will be saved in the same location as the PDF file you opened in step 1.
5. When you are finished, click File > Save Target As > choose a location > Save.
As for the second question, you can delete your original translation eventually, but just wait until you have delivered and everything is fine.
