RetainPDF is an open-source PDF translation tool that preserves layout, formulas, and document structure, with special support for scanned/image-based PDFs and complex inline formulas. It ships as desktop apps for Windows/macOS/Linux and a Docker-deployable web service with OCR, translation, and typesetting modules.

Use cases

  • translate scientific papers while keeping the original layout
  • translate scanned or image-based PDFs
  • preserve inline math formulas when translating PDFs
  • batch translate technical documentation with custom translation rules
  • self-host a PDF translation service for a team via Docker
  • compress translated PDFs and control font sizes

When to choose

  • you need layout-preserving translation of scanned PDFs or complex formulas
  • you want a self-hosted or API-driven PDF translation pipeline
  • you translate scientific or technical documents regularly

When to avoid

  • you only need plain text extraction or translation without layout
  • you need a lightweight CLI-only tool
  • you require a fully offline solution without any model/API dependencies
