TransPDF account

You need TransPDF to import PDF documents into a memoQ project. Although memoQ can import PDF documents on its own, it is much more efficient if you use the TransPDF service for that.

Before you can import PDF documents using TransPDF, you need to register with TransPDF and save your account details in memoQ.

To save your TransPDF account details in memoQ, use the TransPDF account window.

You need to pay for TransPDF: TransPDF is not free. After you register, you can produce 25 pages of translated PDF for free, but you need to pay for the rest. TransPDF will charge you after the number of the final, translated pages that you export. So, the PDF will be imported for free, and you pay when you export the finished work.

How to get here

  1. Open memoQ. Click the memoQ tab at the top left.
  2. The my memoQ page appears. Under TransPDF, click My TransPDF account.

    The TransPDF account window opens.

If an e-mail address is already there: Click the change link to open the TransPDF account window. Click the open link to open your TransPDF profile in a web browser.
