Anyone know of a free translator that works on PDF's and goes from German to english??

I've got a workshop manual i need to look at somthing in, but its all in german!

If it is online, maybe you could use Googles view as HTML, and use that link in either googles translate or another sites service to convert that to English?

Google language might be your friend

google language seems to only be for web pages - this is a 500 page pdf!

Do you realise the amount of translation errors you're going to get from an internet translation tool on a 500 page document?

Lostcat - aye, some more than others

Pudney -yes i do, but i have basic german from my school days (lol, if i can remember them) and there will be enough translated along with the images to understand what i am looking at/for.

Clicky clicky

No idea how effective this is or how safe, but I turned it up from a quick google search. Also no idea how long it may take to do 500 pages!!!

Edit: Oops, didn't notice you have to pay....
Edit2: But there is a trial version!!
