      Does anyone know if this is possible? Most of the documents that would be needed to be translated are either In Design or PDFs.
      Thank you in advance.

      PDF files are not really editable, so they would need to be converted into a format that is editable. You could use something like PDF2DTP https://markzware.com/products/pdf2dtp/ or PDF2ID from Recosoft.

      There are many methods for translating InDesign documents. One company I know of that does this is here: https://redokun.com

      Most professional translators will be able to handle an IDML file in their CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tool, and giving them a PDF of the original will improve the translation process enormously by letting them see the visual context of the words.
      It’s likely that the Spanish text will run maybe 15-20% longer that the corresponding English.
