Add TransPDF to Your Translation Tools

Including TransPDF in your app gives your users access to high-quality XLIFF import/export from their PDFs. They will be able to achieve the transformation of PDF to translated-PDF faster and with more accuracy than ever before.

The transpdf.com HTTP-based API is free to developers and includes a Python wrapper to make things simpler. If you need additional wrappers, let us know.

Example Code

Download the API example code and Python class by right-clicking the link and choosing 'Save Link As...' or equivalent for your browser.

What Can You Do With The API?

  • Log-in / out
  • Upload PDFs
  • Auto-translate PDFs
  • Upload / Download XLIFFs
  • Download preview PDF containing your translations
  • Download a comparison PDF showing original and translated pages side-by-side.
  • Download HTML previews of translated pages

  • Delete PDFs

In order to use TransPDF from within your app, two things are required:

  • a developer API key - get in touch and we'll generate one for you at no cost
  • a user account - your users will need their own free account on transpdf.com

How Do Payments Work?

After sign-up, users are automatically given some free 'credits' to use with the system.

  • There is a 1 credit charge for the initial conversion of PDF to XLIFF (free with a valid Infix license)
  • There is a 1 credit charge for conversion to CSV (free with a valid Infix license)
  • Generation of the final PDF incurs a 1-credit charge per edited page. The fee for page 1 is waived. (free with a valid Infix license)
  • Previews and XLIFF imports are all free.
  • PDFs that require OCR processing incur a mandatory, 1-credit per page charge after which no further charges are applied to the PDF.
  • Auto-translation using the cloud incurs a mandatory, 1-credit per page fee after which no further fees are charged.

Users may purchase additional credits by visiting their account page at https://transpdf.iceni.com/user_info_form/

Your app doesn't need to track or get involved with the transaction, it all happens between the user and the transpdf server.
