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. CHOOSE YOUR ENGINE Translate with Microsoft or Google, whichever you prefer for your language pair. Built for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

ハコは、iOS標準「ファイル」に入っているものを、写真アプリのように見せるアプリです。 新しい保存庫を作りません。見せたいフォルダを選ぶだけで、すでに持っていた書類や画像が、日付ごとのサムネイルの並びになって現れます。初日から、過去のファイルがすべて並びます。 ■ ファイルは、そのままでいい ・iOS標準「ファイル」をそのまま読み込みます ・動かしません。名前も変えません。コピーも作りません ・ファイルの実体はこのアプリの外(iOS「ファイル」)にあります。アプリを削除しても実体はすべて残ります ■ 探すのをやめる ・追加日順に並ぶタイムライン。1画面に並ぶ枚数は切り替えられます ・種類でしぼりこめます ・ファイル名で検索できます ・タップしてすぐプレビュー。「ファイル」アプリで開くこともできます ■ アルバムは「見え方」です ・まとめても、実体は動きません ・入れたファイルは元の場所にあるままです ■ ハコ Pro ・つながるフォルダが無制限になります ・アルバムの下書きと、古いスクショ・重複の片付けを提案します ・ファイルの中の文字で検索できます(OCR全文検索) 提案は勝手に実行されません。承認するまで何も起きません。 ■ 端末の中だけで完結します ・索引・サムネイル・文字の読み取り。処理はすべて端末の中で行われます ・アカウント登録はありません ・データを1件も集めません ・通信が発生するのは、App内課金のときだけです ・通知を送りません 対応: iPhone / 縦向き ◆ 利用規約・プライバシー 利用規約: https://andit.net/apps/hako/terms/ プライバシーポリシー: https://andit.net/apps/hako/privacy/
