Before sending a difficult document.
The scope is defined by the required result, not by the file extension alone.
What files can Signifidem assess?
Finished PDFs, flattened files, scans, images and legacy documents. Feasibility depends on the actual file, language, subject matter and intended use.
Is translation the only service?
No. Work may include translation, authorised editing, adaptation, reconstruction or a controlled combination.
Do you need the original editable file?
Not necessarily. Source-less documents can be assessed, although not every file can be reconstructed reliably.
What does the client receive?
Normally, the agreed completed and reviewed PDF prepared for the stated use.
How is the price determined?
By language, volume, source condition, layout complexity, subject matter, deadline and review requirements. There is no universal per-page rate.
Can tables and complex layouts be preserved?
They form part of the assessment. A commitment is made only where the required result can be produced and checked reliably.
How should confidential files be sent?
Do not attach them to the first enquiry. Begin with a non-sensitive description; a project channel is agreed after initial assessment.
Is notarisation included?
No. Notarial certification, apostille and public-authority authentication are separate services unless expressly agreed.
Can Signifidem correct the source document?
Only authorised changes are made. Apparent errors or ambiguities are raised for instruction and are not silently rewritten.
Do you alter signatures, seals or security features?
No. Such elements are not altered, and deceptive or unlawful assignments are refused.
Does human review mean specialist approval?
No. Any required legal, engineering, medical, financial or other specialist validation must be separately established.
