+# Advanced PDF Translation with Formatting Preservation
+
+## New Feature: Coordinate-Based PDF Translation
+
+We've implemented a sophisticated approach to PDF translation that preserves the exact formatting, layout, and appearance of the original document. This addresses your requirement for translating PDF files while maintaining the same visual appearance.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Text Extraction with Coordinates
+Using advanced PDF libraries (`pdfplumber`), we extract text elements along with their exact positions (x, y coordinates), dimensions (width, height), and formatting information (font, size).
+
+### 2. Translation
+The extracted text is sent to OpenRouter for translation using your selected model.
+
+### 3. Text Replacement
+Using `reportlab`, we create a new PDF where the translated text is placed in the exact same positions as the original text, preserving the document's visual appearance.
+
+### 4. Output
+The result is a PDF that looks identical to the original but with all text translated.
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### Libraries Used
+- **pypdfium2**: For PDF document handling and page operations
+- **pdfplumber**: For extracting text with precise coordinates
+- **reportlab**: For creating new PDFs with positioned text
+
+### Process Flow
+```
+Original PDF → Extract text + coordinates → Translate text → Create new PDF with translated text in same positions → Formatted translated PDF
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Exact Formatting Preservation**: Maintains fonts, positions, layouts
+2. **Image/Table Preservation**: All non-text elements remain unchanged
+3. **Visual Consistency**: Output looks identical to input
+4. **Better Quality**: More accurate than conversion-based approaches
+
+## Fallback Mechanism
+
+If the coordinate-based approach fails for any reason, the system automatically falls back to the previous method:
+1. PDF → DOCX conversion using LibreOffice
+2. DOCX translation
+3. DOCX → PDF conversion
+
+## Requirements
+
+The new approach requires these additional libraries:
+```
+pypdfium2==4.27.0
+pdfplumber==0.10.3
+reportlab==4.0.7
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+The system automatically uses the coordinate-based approach for all PDF files. No changes are needed to your workflow - simply upload a PDF and the system will preserve its formatting during translation.
+
+## Limitations
+
+1. **Complex Layouts**: Very complex layouts with overlapping text may not translate perfectly
+2. **Font Support**: Uses standard fonts if original fonts aren't available
+3. **Right-to-Left Text**: Special handling may be needed for RTL languages like Arabic
+
+## Testing
+
+You can test the new functionality with:
+```bash
+python test_pdf_libraries.py
+```
+
+This verifies that all required libraries are properly installed and functional.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+If the coordinate-based approach encounters any issues:
+1. Detailed error logging is provided
+2. Automatic fallback to the previous method
+3. Clear error messages for troubleshooting
+
+The system prioritizes successful translation over the exact method used.
