TRANSLATE PDF, WORD, EXCEL AND POWERPOINT — AND KEEP THE LAYOUT Most translators hand you back a wall of text. PDF Translator hands you back your document: the same tables, the same columns, the same letterhead and the same page breaks — in a new language. Try it before you pay. No account, no card. KEEPS YOUR FORMATTING - Tables stay tables and columns stay aligned. - Logos, headers, footers and images stay exactly where they were. - Page layout is preserved, so a translated contract still reads like a contract. - Documents that mix several languages can be translated into one single language. EVERY DOCUMENT YOU ACTUALLY WORK WITH - PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx) and photos. - Scanned paperwork: built-in OCR reads the page first, then translates it. - Long documents: split and translated automatically, however many pages. - Up to 133 languages, with automatic language detection. TRANSLATE WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP YOU ARE IN Share a document straight from Mail, Files, Safari or any other app using the built-in extension, and get the translated file back without switching apps. STRAIGHT ANSWERS ON CREDITS - One page costs one credit, and you see the page count before anything is spent. - If a translation fails, the credit goes back into your balance automatically. - No machine-translation watermark on your translated documents. A FULL PDF TOOLKIT AS WELL - Edit the text and images inside a PDF. - Compress a PDF to reduce its file size. - Split, merge and scan, and convert photos into PDF. - Rename, save and share your files, with full Dark Mode support.

About

Stapati

Features
Read full description

Stapati turns a floor plan into a consultant-ready Vastu grid in minutes. Vastu is an ancient Indian science of spatial planning that studies orientation, entrances, proportions, centre zones and directional balance. Stapati brings that workflow into a precise digital workspace, so you can inspect a plan visually instead of redrawing grids again and again. Import a floor plan image or PDF, mark the property boundary, add doors and exclusions, set the exact north angle, and instantly view practical Vastu overlays for 16 directions, 32 padas and Brahmasthan placement. It is built for consultants, architects, builders, home buyers and serious practitioners who need faster plan checks, clearer client conversations and better documentation. Use Stapati to: - Import images or PDFs of floor plans - Mark and refine boundary points - Add doors, exclusions and layout details - Set north by degree for rotated plans - View 16-direction and 32-pada grids - Identify the Brahmasthan zone visually - Export PNG, PDF, SVG and JSON reports - Work offline, with no account required For many reviews, Stapati can reduce repetitive manual drafting, screenshots and back-and-forth by giving you an instant, shareable Vastu grid from the plan itself. Your files stay on your device. Stapati does not require a login or cloud sync. Stapati supports Vastu analysis and documentation. It does not replace professional architectural, engineering, legal or regulatory advice.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stapati at none against PDF Translator's 13. Stapati also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PDF Translator's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
