Translate PDFs without breaking the layout

The problem

If you’ve ever translated a PDF manually, you know the pain:

  • Copy text into a translator
  • Paste it back
  • Rebuild formatting
  • Fix spacing and alignment
  • Reinsert images

It’s slow. And risky for compliance-heavy documents.

The solution: Translate PDF with formatting preserved

Our new Translate PDF tool keeps your document’s structure intact.

That means:

  • Layout is preserved
  • Fonts and styles remain consistent
  • Images and visual elements stay in place
  • The translated file looks like the original

No reconstruction required.

When is this useful?

  • Multilingual contracts
  • International compliance documents
  • Cross-border sales proposals
  • HR onboarding documents
  • Product manuals

If you work across regions, this removes hours of formatting work.

Yes — the layout stays intact.You get a translated PDF that’s ready to share immediately.

AI Credits: structured AI adoption for teams

AI features are powerful. But unmanaged AI usage can create cost unpredictability and governance issues.

What it covers

We’ve introduced AI Credits, giving structured access to AI-powered features.

For teams, administrators can:

  • Control AI credit allocation
  • Monitor usage
  • Govern AI adoption at an organizational level

How iLovePDF approaches it

Instead of unlimited, uncontrolled AI consumption, you get predictable usage.

This is especially useful for:

  • Legal departments
  • Finance teams
  • Operations teams scaling AI workflows
  • Enterprises with cost controls

In short:

Yes — administrators can manage AI consumption at the team level.

This supports scalable AI adoption without surprises.

Regional file processing for jurisdictional control

Data residency and jurisdictional compliance are no longer optional for many organizations.

The challenge

Companies operating internationally often need to:

  • Process files in specific geographic regions
  • Align with local regulatory requirements
  • Reduce cross-border data exposure

What’s new

With Regional File Processing, organizations can define regional preferences.

This helps support:

  • Jurisdictional considerations
  • Internal compliance policies
  • Distributed document workflows

For example:

  • A European team can prioritize EU processing.
  • APAC teams can align with regional infrastructure.
  • Multinational companies can segment workflows.

This update builds on our broader commitment to secure infrastructure. You can explore more in our official security documentation (linked once for transparency and governance context).

Advanced PDF editing that feels seamless

Editing PDFs shouldn’t feel like fighting the file.

We’ve enhanced the Edit PDF to deliver better performance and smoother content adjustment.

What this means in practice

  • Faster content modifications
  • More fluid text editing
  • Better alignment handling
  • Reduced lag in complex documents

For professionals updating contracts, reports, or marketing materials, this reduces friction significantly.

If you frequently adjust structured documents, this improvement alone can save meaningful time.

Tool settings: fewer clicks, more control

Repetitive configuration is one of the biggest hidden productivity killers.

We’ve introduced a new Tool Settings section that lets you define how your PDFs behave before you even start.

General settings

You can now:

  • Save task history
  • Automatically download output files

This is especially helpful for high-volume workflows.

Tool-specific controls

You can fine-tune:

  • Compression levels
  • PDF/A conversion
  • OCR behavior
  • PDF to JPG output
  • Image to PDF defaults
  • Edit PDF preferences
  • Protection settings

For example:

If you're handling long-term records, you may want to explore PDF/A conversion for long-term archiving. Setting this once reduces repetitive decisions.

If you process scanned documents frequently, understanding how OCR works in iLovePDF helps you configure it properly for searchable text.

If you handle sensitive contracts, it’s worth reviewing PDF security and encryption basics to align tool settings with internal policies.

The goal is simple:

Less clicking. More consistency.

Improved notifications and a refreshed user panel

Small usability changes compound over time.

We’ve introduced:

  • Expanded notification capabilities
  • Clearer plan and package visibility
  • Improved section hierarchy in the user panel Februrary 26 Major Release (2)

These updates improve transparency around:

  • Account activity
  • Subscriptions
  • System updates

The result: fewer surprises and better visibility.
