Bilingual tables: PDF to Word (text only, no formatting)
| Source | Price |
|---|---|
| Live pages | €1.50 / page |
| Dead pages | €2.00 / page |
- Copy text from the document into a bilingual table.
- If the source is non-editable, proofread for odd characters.
- Preserve bold, italic, and underline so the formatter knows what to highlight in translation.
- Place each page’s text in the table twice; the left column is set to “Hidden” so it is invisible to CAT tools but lets you see source and translation side by side afterwards.
Layout from scratch: PDF/DOCX to InDesign (or any format)
| Tier | Price |
|---|---|
| Scratcher | €15.00 / hour |
Please specify the target format and purpose (web or print). Layout settings depend on these — for example CMYK or RGB, graphics at 300 DPI or 72 DPI.

| QA | €2.00 / page |
| Set: DTPE + DTP1 + DTP2 + QA | €3.50 / page |

Complex formats
| Tier | Price |
|---|---|

These are complex programs; work usually takes more than one day.
Drawings: PDF to Word or InDesign
| Tier | Price |
|---|---|
| Sigma | from €8.00 / page |
Price depends on drawing size (drawings are often around one metre square). Word limits sheet size and drawings lose quality, so we recommend placing drawings in an IDML layout and translating there without quality loss.

| PDF remediation, Standard | €5.00 / page |
