Hello,

Sorry if this question has already been asked but I couldn't find it.

I have a PDF document generated by Adobe Illustrator. How can I open this document in Wordfast?

You will not be able to open a PDF in Wordfast Classic, it is a macro (or at set of macros) running under MS word.

You are however able to open it under the (free) service from Wordfast => http://freetm.com/

Here you will have the possibility to upload and convert a PDF to Word / RTF.

I've done it af few times, at it works well for me - deepening on the type of PDF..

Wordfast Pro? Jun 11, 2012

Thank you rpr,

I'm not too familiar with Wordfast Anywhere, I really should take the time to have a proper look. Is there a way to upload the PDF into Wordfast Pro?

Just go to WF Pro > File menu > Open File. As long as you are on Windows, this is the way.
