Handling PDF Files
“I work with the owners and programmers of Infix (.pdf editor) on the identification of bugs or improvements to be made, especially to the tool that exports text from a .pdf file for translation in a CAT tool before importing the translation back into the original .pdf to produce a final document that resembles the original to a very high degree.”
At the moment (Jan. 2014), we are running the tool on a 65,000 word .pdf for a client where the text is delivered to MemoQ before being exported back to Infix.
This project also needs a good understanding of MemoQ xml filters and the interface between the two tools.

Source text - French Evgueni, le mari, porte un sac dans chaque main et sa jeune femme Veronika un troisième, l'autre main serrant fermement celle du petit Youri, 8 ans derrière ses Ray Ban. Ils sont griffés Calvin Klein, Diesel et Mer du Nord.
Le trio sort de la boutique Devemois où madame vient d'essayer une robe de la collection été 2012 annoncée à moitié prix.
Voici trois heures qu'ils arpentent les rues piétonnes de Maasmechelen Village alignant une centaine de boutiques haut de gamme entre Hasselt et Maastricht. Un dimanche à la... Campine, des étiquettes plein les yeux. Des Russes au coeur du Limbourg ? « On rentre demain à Moscou, précise l'homme dans un anglais sommaire. Nous avons passé une semaine en Europe et on termine par le shopping. » Cinq jours à Paris dont un à Eurodisney, deux jours en Belgique, partagés entre Bruges et Anvers (« pour les diamants... ») d'abord,
Maasmechelen ensuite. «Nous logeons à Bruxelles et nous avons pris un bus à 10 heures pour venir ici, il nous ramène en fin d'après-midi. C'est très bien organisé. » Comment ont-ils eu cette idée ? « C'est notre agence de voyage qui nous a conseillé cette formule. Ils nous ont dit que nous trouverions dans cet outlet beaucoup de grandes marques moins chères qu'à Paris. Ils avaient raison. »
Translation - English Evgueni, the husband, is carrying a bag in each hand and his young wife, Veronika, has a third one, her other hand firmly holding that of little Youri, aged 8, peeking out behind his Ray Bans. The bags sport the brand names Calvin Klein, Diesel and North Sea. The trio are coming out of the shop, Devernois, where Veronika has just tried on a dress from the 2012 summer collection, knocked down to half price. They've been wandering for three hours around the pedestrian streets lined by a hundred or so luxury shops in Maasmechelen Village, situated between Hasselt and Maastricht. A Sunday in...Campine, up to their eyes in labels. Russians in the heart of Limburg? “We go back tomorrow to Moscow”, the husband explains in simple English. “We've spent a week in Europe and we're finishing off with some shopping.” Five days in Paris, including one at Euro Disney, two days in Belgium, divided between Bruges and Antwerp (“for diamonds…”), and then Maasmechelen. “We're staying in Brussels and we took a coach at 10 a.m. to come here; it'll take us back at the end of the afternoon. It's very well organized.” Where did they get the idea? “It was our travel agency that recommended the trip. They told us we would find in this designer outlet lots of leading brand names but less expensive than in Paris. They were right.”

Capital social de l’entreprise familiale et efficience organisationnelle : Propositions théoriques pour un modèle de transmission par le canal des coûts bureaucratiques
L’entreprise familiale constitue l’une des formes d’organisation les plus anciennes dans l’histoire économique (Gersick et al. 1997 ; Bienaymé, 2009). Cette forme d’organisation continue à tenir une place majeure dans toutes les économies (IFERA, 2003 ; Chrisman et al., 2004 ; Fogel, 2006 ; Combs et al., 2010 ; Nordqvist et Melin, 2010 ; Sharma et Sharma, 2011). Cependant, les statistiques montrent en même temps que c’est en grand nombre que les entreprises familiales disparaissent si elles ne sont tout simplement pas absorbées par les grandes entreprises non familiales ou obligées de se transformer en entreprises non familiales (Lin et Hu, 2007 ; Litz, 2008). Lester et Cannella (2006) ont souligné combien la vie des entreprises familiales est loin d’être un long fleuve tranquille : deux tiers échouent dans la transition à la seconde génération, leur taux de croissance est faible, elles sont souvent caractérisées par la vulnérabilité et l’inertie dans la prise de décision, elles peuvent facilement être victimes des managers prédateurs voire souffrir de plus de coûts d’agence.
Translation - English Social capital of family firms and organisational efficiency: theoretical proposals for a transmission model through the channel of bureaucratic costs
Family businesses are the oldest form of business organisation in the history of economics (Gersick et al. 1997; Bienaymé, 2009). This type of organisation continues to hold a key place in all economies (IFERA, 2003; Chrisman et al., 2004; Fogel, 2006; Combs et al., 2010; Nordqvist and Melin, 2010; Sharma and Sharma, 2011). However, statistics also show that many family businesses disappear, when they are not simply absorbed by large, non-family firms or forced to change their status to non-family businesses (Lin and Hu, 2007; Litz, 2008). Lester and Cannella (2006) argue that the lifespan of family firms is far from smooth: two-thirds fail in the transition to the second generation, their growth rate is low, they often display vulnerability and inertia when it comes to decision-making, and they can easily be victims of predatory managers or subject to high agency costs.

C’est fait ! Dans un raout médiatique à faire peur, Florence Cassez a quitté sa geôle mexicaine et a fêté son retour en France.

J’ai pris connaissance du courrier que vous avez envoyé à monsieur le Garde des Sceaux. Je reviens vers vous après vous avoir déjà fait parvenir notre communiqué du mercredi 26 janvier 2011 par l’intermédiaire de votre attachée de presse. Comme vous, je suis choquée et anéantie, monsieur le Président !
Premièrement, je suis consternée par l’utilisation populiste que vous faites de ce drame, terrible … la mort tragique d’une jeune fille dans des circonstances encore non élucidées et a priori ignobles !
Deuxièmement, je suis vraiment surprise que vous vous intéressiez enfin au crédit ou au discrédit de l’institution judiciaire : « Il me paraît en conséquence indispensable de faire toute la lumière sur ces dysfonctionnements qui portent atteinte au crédit de l’institution judiciaire. »
Translation - English Mr. President of France,
The letter that you sent to the Justice Minister has come to my notice. I am contacting you again after having already sent you our communiqué dated Wednesday 26 January 2011 via your press officer. As you, I am both shocked and horrified, Mr President!
Firstly, I am appalled by the populist use that you wish to make of this terrible drama, … the tragic death of a young girl in circumstances still unclear but presumably shocking!
Secondly, I am very surprised that you should finally take interest whether it is to credit or discredit the judicial institution: « It therefore seems to me indispensable to bring to light all the dysfunctions which bring the judicial system into disrepute. »

Ami rongeur, vous êtes l’animal le plus malin du bestiaire chinois. Vous avez de l’imagination, vous êtes perfectionniste, et préférez souvent avancer en cavalier seul, car on n’est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même. Quand votre (immense) talent ne suffit pas à votre réussite, vous savez manipuler les autres afin qu’ils vous rendent service en ayant l’impression de le faire spontanément. Mais votre réputation de calculateur n’a d’égale que votre goût pour la passion et le grand amour, vous êtes un grand sentimental !
Votre élément naturel stable est l’eau, qui compense votre individualisme naturel en vous rendant un peu plus à l’écoute d’autrui. Paradoxalement, sans votre agent aquatique, vous seriez un rat… de marée !

• Description
My dear rodent friend, you are the shrewdest of Chinese animals. You have imagination, you're a perfectionist and you prefer to go it alone, because if you want something done properly, it's best to do it yourself. When your (immense) talent is not enough to guarantee success, you know how to get others to eat out of your hand while thinking that they have invited themselves to the table. Your reputation as a bit of a calculator is only equaled by your thirst for passion and true love; in fact, at heart, you’re just a big sentimentalist!
Your natural stable element is water, which compensates for your natural individualism and makes you a better listener. Paradoxically, without your aquatic factor, you would be a ...water rat!

LE TRAIT DE COTE
OBJECTIFS PEDAGOGIQUES DES SESSIONS DU 17 AU 19 MAI 2007
Les objectifs sont de plusieurs ordres :
- permettre aux étudiants d’acquérir rune bonne connaissance des problématiques liées à l’érosion et de leur traduction aux échelles du territoire, de la ville, de l’architecture et de l’espace public. Ce premier point fait particulièrement l’objet des sessions des 15 et 16 Mai (conférences et découvertes de sites),
- vérifier empiriquement la validité et les limites des dispositifs anti-érosifs découverts précédemment. Pour cela, une manipulation directe sur site (place de Malo-les-Bains) est proposée.
- Rechercher par la même confrontation empirique au site des procédés innovants ou plus performants, ou développer d’autres approches face à l’érosion (l’accompagner plutôt que la combattre par exemple).
- Montrer les implications possibles de ces dispositifs à la fois aux échelles du territoire, de la ville, de l’architecture et de l’espace public. De ce point de vue, les dispositifs créés sur la plage constituent soit des maquettes, soit des prototypes des solutions proposées.
- Créer un événement sur le site, en lien avec les usages qui y prennent place. La dimension paysagère du workshop ne réside pas seulement dans son sujet, mais aussi dans son effet tangible : l’aménagement effectif et provisoire d’une plage du littoral nord.
- Enfin, développer un esprit de coopération entre les étudiants, transcendant autant que possible les disciplines, pays et cultures dont les étudiants sont issus. Il y a là aussi une réflexion sur la plage comme dissolution des frontières.

HIGH WATER LINE
PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES FOR THE SESSIONS FROM 17 - 19 MAY 2007
The objectives have several aspects:
- To allow the students to acquire a good understanding of the problems associated with erosion and their interpretation at a national level, at town level, as well as from an architectural and a public space point of view. This first point is the principal object of the workshops of 15 and 16 May (conferences and discovery of the sites),
- To verify empirically the validity and the limits of the anti-erosion measures presented previously. For this, an on-site (place de Malo-les-Bains) hands-on practical is proposed.
- To research on-site using the same empirical approach innovative or more efficient procedures and/or to develop other strategies when faced with erosion (to manage it rather than to combat it for example).
- To show the possible implications of these methods simultaneously at a national level, at town level, as well as from an architectural and a public space standpoint. From this point of view, the measures taken and the devices put into place on the coastline constitute either models or prototypes of proposed solutions.
- T create an on site event, based on local usage of the site. The countryside dimension of the workshop does not only reside in its subject matter, but also in its tangible effect: the effective provisional management of a beach on the northern coastline.
- Finally, to develop a spirit of cooperation between the students, transcending as much as possible the disciplines, countries and cultures from which the students have come. There is also a reflexion to be made on the beach as a dissolution of borders
French to English: 60-GHz millimeter-wave antenna fabricated with a wafer-scale packaging technology General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Telecom(munications)
Source text - French Sorry but the entire source text is copyright.
The paper was proofread by SafeTex.
Translation - English Abstract
This paper presents a 60-GHz millimeter-wave antenna fabricated with a wafer-scale packaging technology. A feeding network is designed in a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed aperture on GaAs substrate. The radiating patch is realized in a 0-level packaging cavity using a glass substrate with a low dielectric constant. The circular polarization is achieved by an inclined coupling slot to the boundary of the square radiating patch. A 45° inclination enables the splitting of the dominant resonant mode into two near-degenerate orthogonal modes for circular polarization radiation. A finite-element-method (FEM)-based 3-D full-wave electromagnetic solver, CST Microwave Studio, is used for the design simulations. Typical numerical simulations and experimental results of the antenna performance are presented and discussed.

Re: Enforceability of a foreign judgement
THE COURT OF APPEAL DECISION
The Court of Appeal rejects XXX's application that a judgement given by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, High Court of Justice, British Virgin Islands, on the 04 April, 2012 regarding case number BVICH (COM) 019 OF 2012 between the applicant, XXX and the defendant, XXX, see annex A, shall be applicable in Sweden.
THE APPLICATION BEFORE THE COURT OF APPEAL
By judgement of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, High Court of Justice, British Virgin Islands, 04 April 2012, XXX were ordered to pay XXX a principle sum and costs. The judgement was declared enforceable in England on the 01 June 2012 by the High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division.
XXX subsequently demanded that the judgement should also be deemed to be enforceable in Sweden, based on the English declaration of enforceability.
THE COURT OF APPEAL DECISION
A stipulation for a foreign ruling to be declared enforceable in Sweden by application of the COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 44/2001 (Brussels I) is that the ruling is made in a member state. The ruling under discussion was given in the British Virgin Islands. The conditions set by the COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 44/2001 (Brussels I) are therefore not fulfilled. The fact that the ruling was declared enforceable in another member state, namely England, does not give rise to an alternative interpretation (see Pälsson, the Brussels Convention, the Lugano Convention and Brussels I, "Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters for EU and EFTA member states". 1:2 ed., 2002, p 236).
RIGHT TO APPEAL
This decision may be appealed by XXX within one month of notice. The appeal must be in writing and lodged with the appeal court.

Från Lödöse via Uddevalla till Shanghai.
Gustaf Mattsson växte upp i Lödöse där han som 15-åring började arbeta på ortens varv. Efter sin ingenjörsutbildning samt en tids arbete vid Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad gick flyttlasset norrut. Gustaf hade fått anställning hos Gustaf B Thordén på Uddevallavarvet och som skicklig optisk ritare blev han så småningom avdelningschef vid ritkontoret.
Efter 12 år på Uddevallavarvets tog Gustaf klivet och startade sin egen firma. I augusti 1961 öppnade Gustaf Mattsson Optisk Ritbyrå. I och med denna satsning lades grunden till det som idag, 50 år senare, är Mattssongruppen.
UFAB bildades av nedlagda LM Ericsson 1968. Därefter har företaget växt och utvecklats succesivt med ett antal nya kunder genom åren. Även kundbasen har breddats till branscher som offshore, medicin, flyg, jordbruksmaskiner, vindkraft och energi.
År 2000 bildades en egen konstruktionsavdelning för att bredda utbudet av företagets tjänster.
För att ytterligare stärka vårt erbjudande och möta marknadens krav så bildades UFAB Shanghai 2010 med egen anläggning för bearbetning och montage.
År 2012 så gick Mattssonsgruppens två företag UFAB samt Junoverken ihop och behöll namnet UFAB.
I samband med detta har det nya företaget gjort en större satsning på att stärka varumärket, visualisera verkstaden och göra den till en toppmodern verkstad med tydliga flöden och ett strukturerat förbättringsarbete som skall gagna dig som kund.
Denna bakgrund och med dessa förutsättningar gör att vi kan ge dig vårt varumärkeslöfte ¬– Always Improve.

From Lödöse via Uddevalla to Shanghai.
Gustaf Mattsson grew up in Lödöse where, at the age of 15, he began to work at the local shipyard. After studying to become an engineer as well as working for some time at Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad [Shipbuilders, Engineers and Repairers], Gustaf moved North. Gustaf had found employment with Gustaf B. Thordén at the Uddevalla shipyard and as a skillful draughtsman, he slowly worked his way up to being the head of the drawing offices.
After 12 years at the Uddevalla shipyard, Gustaf took the leap and started his own firm. In August 1961, Gustaf opened Mattsson Optisk Ritbyrå [Drawing Consultancy]. In a single effort, the corner stone had been laid for what was to become today, some 50 years later, the Mattsson Group.
UFAB was set up from one of LM Ericsson's workshops that closed in 1968. From that very day, the company has gone from strength to strength acquiring more and more customers over the years. Even the customer database has been extended to cover new sectors such as offshore, medicine, aeronautics, agricultural equipment, wind power and energy.
In 2000, the company set up its own construction department to extend its range of services.
To further consolidate its offer and to meet market demand, UFAB Shanghai was set up in 2010 with its own metalworking and assembly plant.
In 2012, the two UFAB companies owned by the Mattsson Group merged together with Junoverken under the name of UFAB.
As part of the merger plan, the new company has made a great effort to increase brand awareness, give greater visibility to and to fully modernize its production units with the introduction of clear work flows and structural improvements to better serve you, our customers.
This background strategy and its resulting policy mean that we can always live up to our company slogan- Always Improve.
