Luiz, I'm afraid I lost the original file I created many years ago when the hard drive it was on crashed, so the only thing I have left are the pdf files.

But, all is not lost. Open your copy. Put the cursor somewhere in some of the text, press and hold the control key, and drag the cursor a bit to highlight some of the text, then release the control key. Then press and hold the control key again, type the "A" key, and release the control key. It will look like nothing is happening. Give it a few seconds. It's selecting all the text of the book. Once it's all selected, press and hold the control key, type the "C" key, and release the control key. It will copy all of the text in the book. You can then paste it into whatever program you like. You will lose text attributes like bold, underline, italic, etc. but you can recreate those attributes once you've completed the translation.

Good luck with the project, and if you need any further help, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the tip!

I'll do it in HTML first, to see if it makes it easier to find what you're looking for. It'll also be easier to use translators.

But anyway, I'll start right away, to see how it goes.
