Japanese is typically written in vertical, which may be difficult for people accustomed to horizontal text. We can convert it to a horizontal layout.

PDFs can be divided into two types: those with selectable text and those that cannot be copied. For the selectable type, since the PDF simply renders text at fixed positions, the text often cannot be copied in reading order and requires layout analysis. For non-selectable versions, such as scanned PDFs, OCR software is needed to recognize the text, followed by layout analysis to determine the correct text order.

The computer-aided image translation software ImageTrans supports processing both types of PDFs, exporting vertically oriented text into a horizontal format.

Example:

Converted horizontal text:

もちろんです以下にランダムな日本語の文章を生成しました。

一匹の子犬。王都が見えてきた。 でかいのは態度だけで後は何もかもが小さい。

It also supports adding furigana annotations:

もちろんです以下いかにランダムな日本語にほんごの文章ぶんしょうを生成せいせいしました。

一匹いっぴきの子犬こいぬ。王都おうとが見みえてきた。

でかいのは態度たいどだけで後あとは何なにもかもが小ちいさい。
