 "title": "Check a translated PDF against its original page by page",
 "page_title": "How to check a translated PDF against its original page by page with PDF Translate",
 "summary": "Run the audit script to compare page count, page size, clauses, numbers and placeholder wording.",
 "who": "A translator, reviewer or bid team lead who has a translated PDF and needs proof it matches the original before sending it out.",
 "problem": "Translated pages can drift in page count or size, lose clause numbers, change figures, or contain filler text such as placeholders, and these errors are easy to miss by eye.",
 "outcome": "A JSON audit report and side-by-side PNG images that show which pages pass and which pages need fixes.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/lxsssssss/pdf-translate.git` and enter it with `cd pdf-translate`.",
  "Install dependencies with `pip install -r requirements.txt` and `playwright install chromium`.",
  "Run the audit with `python scripts/audit_pdf.py --src original.pdf --tgt translated.pdf --json audit_report.json`.",
  "Generate side-by-side images with `python scripts/audit_pdf.py --src original.pdf --tgt translated.pdf --compare-png compare_png/`.",
  "Open audit_report.json and the images in compare_png/, then fix any flagged page and rerun the audit."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the pdf-translate repository to audit <translated.pdf> against <original.pdf>. Run scripts/audit_pdf.py with --json audit_report.json and --compare-png compare_png/, then summarize page count, page size, clause number, cross reference and number differences from the report. Confirm that the total page count matches before reporting anything else.",
