translate a pdf file from german to english

[sara fink]

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the ideas to convert it. I ended up
using translate.google.com where it allowed to convert even a pdf. I had to
split the file in 4 because otherwise it left lots of untraslated pages. I
splitted it each 13 pages. Then I copied and pasted the translation in word
processor.

I also had to extract the images and add them. The option of the pdf viewer
that sends a link didn't work. I think it was due to the limit of 10MB file
(although mine had 9MB).
