Supported formats
What TraDoc extracts, previews and reconstructs for each format.
| Input | Final output | Main behavior |
|---|---|---|
.epub | .epub | Preserves the container, reading order, HTML, styles and illustrations as far as the source structure allows. |
.pdf | .pdf | Reconstructs a reflowed book with Unicode typography, pagination, metadata and a table of contents when detected. |
.docx | .docx | Replaces translated paragraphs in a copy of the document and preserves untranslated elements. |
.md | .md | Preserves supported Markdown structure, blocks, headings and markers. |
.txt | .txt | Preserves a UTF-8 text stream and block boundaries. |
Partial previews
An incomplete project can be exported after at least one segment has been translated. The server returns the same file type with a name prefixed by apercu_partiel_. Pending portions come from the source when the parser supports it.
PDF specifics
The final PDF is not a pixel-identical layer over the original: TraDoc favors readable editorial reconstruction. Partial previews use a faster strategy. The current download reconstructs a PDF; PDF-to-EPUB conversion is not available in the current version.
Structural limits
Highly graphical documents, complex tables, scans without a text layer, deeply nested footnotes and sophisticated office layouts require manual verification. Always test an excerpt before processing a full book.
