Let’s say you have a PDF file with 380 pages, all scanned images.

The first task is to split the document into lots of 50-page documents. You can use:
https://www.ilovepdf.com/split_pdf#split,range

Now, you will have a 6-pages document.

The second task is to OCR the 6 documents, using:
https://www.ilovepdf.com/ocr-pdf

Join the PDFs into one using:
https://www.ilovepdf.com/merge_pdf

The fourth task is to upload and then open the PDF in Google Docs:
https://docs.google.com/

Finally, open the Google Doc and translate the Google Docs into another language.

The only downside? You generally get a poor-quality translation.

The OCR, also, can lack quality.

How to increase your surface area for luck – by Cate Hall:

One distinguishing feature I’ve noticed among people who are unusually successful is that they just try a lot of stuff — socially, intellectually, professionally. It’s the rate of experimentation, the number of shots on goal, that provides the magic, not the percentage of successes, which might be very low at first.
It sounds stupidly simple, but it’s profound: the more times you interact with the outside world, the more chances you have to get lucky — to find the collaborators, friends, and projects that, together, provide the right soil for you to bloom in.

I see this quite often – people forget to follow-up.

Do I do this myself? Yes. I try to correct this, though.

There are little reasons not do to a follow-up.

Keep walking.

Sometimes, I find myself in a dilemma – Should I buy this or not? (see – George Carlin Talks About „Stuff” – YouTube)

I generally find the answer by keeping asking – „Will I use this item on the long run?”. Or, in other terms: „Do I find myself keeping using the item, day after day?”.

It’s helpful to look at a possible item on those terms.

The solution to not stuffing your house with items you don’t need is asking yourself – „Will I enjoy the item as time passes? Day after day? Or will it be the tattoo that will be difficult to get rid of?”
