What's New in PDF Translator

6.5.0

November 2, 2026

- Purchases and subscriptions now go through even while your account is still loading, and your plan and page balance recover by themselves after a connection problem. - Fixed freezes when opening files, scanning, converting, editing or compressing, especially on Mac. - Split PDF and PDF to Photos now save your files only after the conversion has finished and been paid for, and split parts no longer overwrite each other. - A translation that comes back with missing pages is now refused, and its pages are refunded automatically.
