Merge many textblock

Post by Winock »

after google translate all text blocks are probably divided into small separate blocks, for example, a 20-word sentence is divided into many small blocks of single words

how can i make it one block again?

I can select them all at once but can't find the option to merge them back together

Hi Winock,

thanks for the post and report.

Do you have "Edit Text Elements as Blocks" enabled?

thank you for your response!

yes I already tried that, the settings on and off the problem is that each word is its own block, i would like to have all the words in one block, right now i can't change the text size. or I have to copy all small texts and put them in one block,

I hope I described my problem well, I Have a sentence: 5 kg Großhandelspkg. 25 kg.

this smal sentence consist of 5 Blocks? if i want to change something here i have to edit the 5 blocks and move each other....

I've also tried other translators including a well-known one, who put a water sign in the background (many Images) :|

and now the stupid thing, i've seen that occasionally two text blocks are placed in one block but this was always a coincidence, it was good to know what caused this

Hello, Winock

Is there any chance you could send us a copy of the document to take a look at, there may some steps you can take to fix this when it occurs, but I would need to see the file to be sure.
If it contains sensitive data, you can email it directly to me, via <support@pdf-xchange.com>, please include a link to this forum post in the body of the email, so that I know it is in relation to this topic.

Kind regards,

Hello again!

Thank you for sending that file via email, There are some issues with the overlapping text, but many of them are resolved by ensuring that "edit text as blocks" is enabled:

Our Dev team is investigating the issues that remain with that enabled, but hopefully this helps other users encountering the same issue in the meantime.

A big feature would be a translate option, and the translated text is set as a comment over the original. or as white-box text. I would like to just be able to read, what the meaning of some pdfs might be. google translate can't translate scanned and ocr-ed pdfs.

Hello, burkhards

While we do not offer a translate feature, or plan to offer one at the moment, you can create a pseudo translation function by using the "web search" feature. This article describes the process: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... translator
