I have two sizeable PDFs (310 + 418 pages) that were originally produced in InDesign and published in Spanish. We converted each file to Word, completed the Portuguese translation there, and—unsurprisingly—lost much of the original formatting. Your task is to rebuild the Portuguese version so it looks and feels like the Spanish source: same page flow, columns, headers, footers, image placement, tables, and graphics. Visual layout is the priority. I do not need pixel-perfect font matching; a close professional equivalent works, and I can request the originals if that will help you. All embedded elements—images, tables, and any call-out graphics—must be updated with the Portuguese text, although most of them don't have any text so it will just be about placing them in the correct spot. You are free to choose the workflow: re-create the document in InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or another layout program; or work directly inside the PDFs with Acrobat or any specialised tools. What matters is that the final deliverables meet these acceptance criteria: • Print-ready, high-resolution PDFs for each volume, mirroring the original visual structure page-by-page. • All Portuguese text correctly inserted without truncation, overset text, or broken hyphenation. • Not mandatory, but if possible: Clean, editable source files (INDD, AFPUB, or equivalent) so future updates are straightforward. If you have handled long-form multilingual DTP before, especially from Word conversions, I would love to see samples or a brief note on your preferred approach.

Hello, I’ve read your project on restoring the Portuguese version of two long-form PDFs to mirror the original Spanish layout page-for-page. With 310 and 418 pages, the priority is accurate visual structure: page flow, columns, headers/footers, image and table placements, and consistent graphics. I bring 9+ years in publishing and multi-language layouts, with hands-on work in InDesign, Affinity Publisher, and Acrobat to deliver print-ready PDFs that preserve layout integrity while updating Portuguese text across all embedded elements. I can recreate the documents to match the Spanish source closely, including careful hyphenation, image anchoring, and table fidelity. If you prefer, I can also generate editable source files (INDD/AFPUB) for future updates. I will propose a pragmatic workflow (layout-first rebuild in InDesign or Publisher; fill text from Word; final quality check with automatic overset and hyphenation controls). Next steps: confirm your preferred workflow, file delivery format, and any deadlines so I can outline a precise timeline. What is your target publication deadline and preferred workflow (InDesign vs. Acrobat) for the Portuguese restoration? Best regards, Ahmet
