Introducing XLIFF Reflow: The Smarter Way to Translate PDFs Without Losing Formatting

Managing and editing PDFs in multiple languages has always been a challenge. If you have ever tried translating a PDF, you have likely encountered these issues:

XLIFF Reflow, the latest update to PDF Editing for the Server SDK supports seamless multilingual PDF workflows by ensuring translated content reflows accurately without breaking structure, style, or compliance.

XLIFF Reflow is designed to eliminate formatting headaches when translating PDFs. Instead of manually copy-pasting content and fixing layouts, XLIFF Reflow extracts text into XLIFF format, an industry-standard translation file that maintains:

Fonts, layouts, and tables – No more manual reformatting. Seamless integration with translation tools – Works with your existing workflow. Enterprise scalability – Ideal for financial institutions, manufacturers, and government agencies.

By ensuring translated content seamlessly reflows into the original design, XLIFF Reflow makes multilingual document management faster, more reliable, and completely automated.

Unlike traditional translation workflows that require manually extracting and reinserting text, XLIFF Reflow automates this process by converting text into XLIFF format, an industry-standard file type for translation workflows.

XLIFF Reflow pulls all text from a PDF while preserving structure, fonts, and formatting.

The extracted text is stored in XLIFF, an XML-based format used for seamless integration with translation management systems (TMS).

The XLIFF file can be processed with any machine translation system, computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool, or professional translation service.

The translated text remains structured and organized, ensuring compatibility with the original document layout.

Once the translation is completed, XLIFF Reflow reinserts the translated text into the original PDF while ensuring:

Supports Any Translation Workflow

XLIFF Reflow does not perform translations but integrates seamlessly with any system that supports XLIFF files, allowing enterprises to use their preferred translation tools.

Eliminates Post-Translation Formatting Issues

Traditional translation workflows often require extensive manual reformatting. XLIFF Reflow ensures that translated text fits back into place exactly as intended.

Saves Time and Reduces Costs

Organizations spend significant time and resources correcting formatting errors in translated PDFs. By automating reflow, XLIFF Reflow eliminates unnecessary rework, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Ensures Compliance Across Global Markets

Legal, financial, and regulatory documents require strict formatting precision. XLIFF Reflow maintains document integrity, reducing the risk of errors in translated versions.
