text conversions

Clients sometimes find that they no longer have the original artwork for their printed material, only the high-resolution PDF used by the printer.

In such situations, we have successfully re-created a fully editable DTP file to enable updating and translation work to proceed in a cost effective way. Text documents that are available in hard-copy only, or in an uneditable electronic form can be scanned and converted to fully editable documents for most languages via OCR (optical character recognition). This enables updating and translation work to proceed in the most cost effective way.

Clients appreciate the opportunity this service gives them to obtain full value from their existing materials, and to avoid duplication of effort where their originals are not in a suitable format or the required delivery format Clients have benefited from the savings in cost over the medium term.

The language of materials converted has included English, Arabic, Chinese, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Norwegian and Swedish.
