Web browsers have come a long way. There was a time when finally being able to view a PDF natively inside Firefox or Chrome got everyone excited. Now, viewing PDFs is the most basic PDF task you can perform.<\/p>\n

Aside from viewing PDFs in your browser, you now know more than a handful of PDF tasks you can accomplish online. But we\u2019ll bet that there are still a few PDF web tricks you didn\u2019t know about. Here are\u00a05 you probably didn\u2019t know about.<\/p>\n

1. Translate PDF Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Because you know that PDFs are hard to edit, it\u2019s natural that you wouldn\u2019t peg the format as one you could translate into different languages. However, it is possible to do so without converting your file and manually translating it word for word with Google Translate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The online translator\u00a0 is a popular tool for anyone who needs a quick reference. But in case you didn\u2019t notice, it also has an option where you can upload a document to be translated–PDFs included! Obviously, just as the translations for manual text entries may not be 100%, the translations for documents can be slightly inaccurate, as well. So use this tool with that caveat in mind.<\/p>\n

2. Convert PDF to JPEG, Excel and PowerPoint<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019re strapped for time. You need to make some final analysis on tabular data. You need to prep approved images for publication. \u00a0You need to make some tweaks to a presentation you’re giving in a few hours. Any of these sound familiar? These scenarios are all too common, and in each case, a PDF file can be involved, making that single\u00a0PDF task even tougher.<\/p>\n

\"Convert<\/p>\n

In cases like these, online conversion tools can be a lifesaver. We know the constraints of time, money and resources. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made it easy\u00a0for you to get that PDF to JPEG<\/a>, PDF to Excel<\/a> and PDF to PowerPoint<\/a> conversion done. No installation needed. No registration required. Just upload your file, enter your email and click on Convert. Your file will be emailed to you, free of charge.<\/p>\n

3. Read a PDF File Out Loud\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Anyone who needs to review, research or do some reading can especially hate the task if it involves doing so with a PDF document and a busy schedule. Not only does it mean having to read a screen, but, if you\u2019re on the go, it also means having to do it on a mobile device. Something a bit cumbersome for a 5-7 inch gadget. And that\u2019s why SpokenText\u00a0 makes this list.<\/p>\n
