Post title: Depending on the CAT-tool you use_memoQ
Hi Rafael,
In my memoQ I would convert the PDF-files first into Word (I do it with ABBYY PDF-converter), fix the outcome a little bit so both documents "look alike", go to the project I opened in memoQ and run the aligner from the LiveDocs section. After checking the automatically aligned segments I would confirm all segments and export to my Translation Memory. The most annoying part is converting the PDF-documents into Word-documents, the rest is very fast.
I suppose it depends on the tool you use, as Kevin says, the important goal is to obtain those TM-entries you can import and export afterwards.
Hope I could give you an idea about how this can be done in memoQ, best regards,
Agnes
