Manufacturing, Construction, Logistics & Delivery
- Everyone nodded through the safety briefing. Three days later, there was an accident.It turned out that worker had never once seen the safety rules in a language he could read. Put the same manual on PalmDox, and the moment a worker scans the QR code, they pick their language and read the rules on their phone.
- A misunderstood instruction once brought the production line to a stop.Instructions given once out loud are easy to get wrong. Make the work order a PalmDox too, and each worker can read it again in their own language. An 8-page work order in two languages costs 280 credits, $2.80.
- Do you reprint and re-stick the QR codes every time the rules change?With PalmDox the address never changes when you edit. Just update the manual, and the QR codes already on the forklifts open the updated version.
- With a translation agency, getting a quote and then the result takes weeks.On PalmDox you upload the PDF you already use, pick the languages, and the translations are made right away. A 20-page manual in two languages costs 700 credits, $7, and we measure and publish the translation quality for every language.
Restaurants, Cafes, Convenience Stores, Hotels & Small Retail
Explain it once. That’s enough.
Still spending four hours explaining the recipe to a new starter with hand signals? Put a QR code on the recipe, and from day one they read it on their own phone, in their own language.

Restaurants, Cafes, Convenience Stores, Hotels & Small Retail
- A new starter stood in the kitchen holding the recipe card, lost, for a long time.We had handed them a card written in a language they could not read. Make the recipe a PalmDox and put a QR code up in the kitchen, and staff pick their own language and read it on their own phone.
- A family who couldn’t read the menu simply walked out.Make the menu and allergen notes a PalmDox and put a QR code on the table, and guests read the menu on their own phone, in their own language. No one on staff has to interpret.
- Recipes, cleaning steps, the till — you teach it all from scratch every time someone new starts.Make the shop manual once, and new staff follow it from their first day. A 15-page manual in two languages costs 525 credits, $5.25, and the QR codes stay the same when you edit it.

Companies, Startups, IT Teams & Small Businesses
- Your partner writes back: “Is this the latest version you sent?”Send files by email and old versions keep piling up on their side. Give them one PalmDox URL, and every time you edit, the latest version opens at that same address. Nothing to resend.
- A former employee could still open company documents for nine days after leaving.Once a file is out, there is no getting it back. With a PalmDox document, the moment you change the password, even people who opened it before cannot get back in without the new one.
- Only one person knows how the job is done — and when they’re away, nobody does.Collect your internal manuals on PalmDox and they get a table of contents and search. New hires search and find their own answers before they need to ask.
- You need to send a 40-page technical document to an overseas partner in their language.Upload it, pick their language, and the translated edition is made for 1,000 credits, $10. The address never changes, so your partner sees the latest version whenever they open it.

- One parent never came to a single sports day. It turned out they couldn’t read the letters home.Send letters home as a PalmDox URL, and parents pick their own language and read them on their phone. You don’t have to translate anything yourself.
- You write the weekly class notice and lunch menu, but keeping other language versions up is hard.Write it once in English and the other language versions are ready in minutes. A two-page notice in two languages costs 70 credits, $0.70.
- Every time the supply list changes, you send the notice again and answer the same question again.The notice URL stays the same when you edit. Just update it, and parents see the change at the address they already have.
Academies, Instructors & Corporate Training
One URL per course, a password per class.
What if your course PDF turns up on a paid sharing site? Once a file is out, you never get it back. Share it as a URL with a separate password for each class — when a class ends, delete its password and it is closed.

Academies, Instructors & Corporate Training
- Every few days a student asks, “Where are the course materials?”Keep your materials on one PalmDox URL, and students find what they need with the table of contents and search.
- You updated the materials over the weekend, but on Monday students show up with last week’s file.No need to send files again. The same URL always opens the updated version.
- You teach several classes and have to manage materials for each one separately.One document can have a different password for each class, and when a class ends you simply delete that class’s password and it can no longer be opened. Five 30-page decks cost 2,250 credits, $22.50.

- Of ten beta readers, one sent feedback on the manuscript before your last revision.Send files and you can’t tell who is reading which version. Send a PalmDox URL, and every time you revise, everyone reads the same latest version.
- You worry the manuscript might leak before publication.Give each beta reader their own password, and delete it when they finish reading. Unlike a file, which is gone once you hand it over, you can close reading at any time.
- You want your book in Spanish too, but translation quotes are daunting.A Spanish edition of a 300-page manuscript costs 7,500 credits, $75. Readers pick their own language at the same URL.

Why a PalmDox — not a PDF.
A PDF — locked to a paper size
On a phone you zoom and drag sideways to read it. The letters are frozen like a picture, so screen readers lose the reading order and search barely catches it. To change one line you build a new file and send it again — and the other side cannot tell which copy is current.
A PalmDox — laid out for the screen
Text re-flows to fit the screen, and a table of contents takes you straight to the part you want. Screen readers walk headings, lists and tables as structure, and because the body is text it can be searched and indexed. Edit it and the address stays the same, so the link you already sent is always the current one. Readers need no app — a QR code comes with it, and you can add a password.
In 2026 this is a rule, not a taste
The European Accessibility Act applies to new products and services placed on the EU market from 28 June 2025 — wherever your company sits, selling to EU customers counts, and downloadable documents such as manuals are included (existing services have until 28 June 2030). The standard is EN 301 549, which follows WCAG and PDF/UA.
Bringing a PDF up to that standard means adding tags, reading order and alt text by hand, page by page. A PalmDox is born with that structure.
Three steps. That’s all.
No new software to learn. Your existing files, exactly as they are.

Precision review for professionals. Effortless, exact — and free.
Translation quality is measured per language and published below. Still, some documents deserve one more pass of human eyes — professional translations, legal documents, contracts, academic papers. Compare the original and the result side by side, position-locked, and fix anything right where you found it. Precision review is free.
Who needs it · the three differences
First — base conversion carries
your structure across.
Body text, paragraphs, tables, lists, images and code blocks come across with their structure intact. Numbers in graphs and formulas are left untouched — and figures we leave alone are not charged.
But when a single character changes the outcome (legal, finance, engineering, research), three things matter.
Documents where conversion is enough
ship as is
- Manuals, SOPs, notices, newsletters
- Recipes, menus, checklists
- Onboarding materials, employee handbooks, guidelines
- General reports, meeting notes, policy documents
Common trait — simple tables, no formulas · no need to check line by line against the original
Documents that deserve Precision Review
check once more
- Technical specifications (complex tables, merged cells)
- Contracts, terms, legal documents (footnotes, clause references)
- Financial reports, tax filings (complex tables, multi-tier formulas)
- Academic papers (TikZ, chemical formulas, figure captions)
- Translations used verbatim in contracts or notices (1:1 source alignment)
What they share — a single character changes the outcome · they need a 1:1 check against the original
Find where to fix
Synced Viewer
Click any block in the converted result and the exact position in the original page is highlighted instantly. Bidirectional sync — click the original, the editor scrolls to that block.
On a 100-page technical document, time to find what's wrong — you never hunt for it.
Simple pricing. One credit system.
One conversion. Manuals, newsletters, recipes, SOPs: just convert. For documents where a single character matters — specs, contracts, finance, research — check the result against the original with the Precision Review tool — included free.

Measured per language. Published as measured.
We translate with a current-generation AI translation engine. And rather than claim quality, we measure it language by language and publish the grade and score as they are — the table below is that result.
Of 37 supported languages, 27 are measured and published
For every language we translate a standard specimen document (English source) through the same pipeline we sell, back-translate it and score the result — shown here as-is. Re-benchmarking runs every 3 months and immediately whenever the translation AI engine is updated. The specimen sentences are authored by PalmDox.

Your documents stay yours.
Control who sees what — and every leg is encrypted: in transit, at rest, on open, and on download. Six controls. All free.
Password protection
Set a password per document. Change or remove it anytime without changing the URL. Multiple passwords per file for different audiences.
Encrypted in transit
Everything between the browser and our servers travels over TLS. Neither your documents nor your passwords cross the wire in the clear.
Encrypted at rest
Documents are stored in AWS S3, which encrypts every object at rest with AES-256 (SSE-S3) by default. The infrastructure is AWS — SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
15-minute signed links
Knowing the address is not enough to open the content. Every open issues a signed link that lives for fifteen minutes and then dies.
Downloads are encrypted too
Inside the single downloaded PalmDox file, the content itself is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Your browser decrypts it on the spot when you open the file.
No app required
Recipients open the URL in any browser. No account, no install, no friction. Works equally well on phone, tablet, and desktop.
Common questions.
If it’s not here, contact us.
Q.01 What exactly is a PalmDox?
A PalmDox is a document your browser opens directly. One URL is the online copy; download it and a single file is the offline copy — contents, search, bookmarks, notes and language switching all live inside it. Nothing to install.
Why a PalmDox instead of a PDF. A PDF is locked to a paper size — on a phone you pinch and drag to read it, the letters are frozen like a picture so screen readers lose the reading order, and search barely catches it. To change one line you build a new file and send it again. A PalmDox is laid out for the screen — text reflows, screen readers move through real headings, lists and tables, and because the body is text it can be searched and indexed. Edit it and the address stays the same.
In 2026 this is no longer a matter of taste. The European Accessibility Act applies to new products and services placed on the EU market from 28 June 2025 — it reaches any company selling to EU customers, wherever it is based, and it covers downloadable documents such as manuals and notices (existing services have until 28 June 2030). The standard is EN 301 549, which follows WCAG and PDF/UA (ISO 14289-2:2024). Bringing a PDF up to that means hand-tagging structure, reading order and alt text, page by page. A PalmDox is born with that structure.
What PalmDox does. Upload the PDF you already have and it becomes a PalmDox in minutes. We translate it into 37 languages and publish a measured quality grade for each one. The address is permanent, you can add passwords and a QR code, and inside a downloaded file the content itself is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. No subscription — credits, paid as you use them.
Q.02 How much does it cost?
No subscription fee. Top up credits and pay only for what you use.
· File conversion (PDF) — 15 credits per page ($0.15)
· Translation — 10 credits per page for each language you add ($0.10)
· Paid hosting — 6 months 60 credits ($0.60) · 1 year 100 credits ($1)
· Free hosting — free, with no time limit
Sharing and password protection are always included at no extra cost. Top up when you run low — credits stay valid for 5 years.
Q.03 Does the URL change when I update the document?
No. The URL is permanent. When you upload a new version, anyone with the existing link sees the updated content immediately. No need to resend links or re-print QR codes.
Q.04 What file types can I upload?
PDF is fully supported. Maximum file size is 50MB per document. We translate text inside figures, but hand-drawn figures, graphs or charts made of small intricate lines, and figures containing formulas are left exactly as they are — redrawing them could change what they appear to say. Figures we leave untouched are not charged.
Q.05 What languages are supported?
37 languages — 한국어, English, 日本語, 中文(简体), Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Tiếng Việt, Bahasa Indonesia, Italiano, العربية, हिन्दी, বাংলা, ไทย, Русский, Filipino, اردو, Türkçe, नेपाली, ខ្មែរ, မြန်မာ, Монгол, සිංහල, Oʻzbekcha, Кыргызча, Тоҷикӣ, ລາວ, Română, Polski, Українська, Български, Shqip, Hrvatski, Čeština, Magyar, Ελληνικά. We measure translation quality for every language ourselves and publish the grade and score in the table below, re-measuring every three months and whenever the translation engine is updated.
Q.06 How long does it take to convert a document with PalmDox?
About 40 seconds per page on average. That is slower than a typical PDF converter — and there is a reason.
PalmDox conversion is already at a high level. Leading AI models work on every page together, and on top of that PalmDox’s own, more refined conversion process is applied. That takes more computing power and infrastructure per page, so each page takes longer to finish. And we don’t stop there — we keep researching to make conversion even better.
Translation, too, always runs on leading AI models, and we measure and publish its quality for every language.
Q.07 What’s the difference between keeping it on PalmDox and downloading the file to our own server?
Both work. PalmDox hosting is one link, and edits go live the moment you save. Self-hosting means downloading a single PalmDox file and putting it wherever you like — it opens with no internet at all, but a few things do not travel inside the file. Here is the full difference.
One build gives you up to 3 downloads. Bookmarks made in a downloaded file are never stored on our servers.
Q.08 Are there documents that don't convert well?
Most PDFs convert as they are. The following kinds currently lose layout or are not turned into text — we test them regularly with samples and keep improving.
- Dense exam papers (two columns, ①~⑤ choices, many figures) — Very dense exam pages (100+ lines, many figures and ①~⑤ choices) may exceed the AI time limit or fail the text check twice and fall back to our rule-based layout; choice numbers and figure positions can then differ from the original.
- Math exam pages — Formulas are re-rendered as math (LaTeX). Choices laid out in one row become a vertical list, and the border of condition boxes may be lost.
- Vertical writing (Japanese, classical Chinese) — Vertically written text is not converted to text; it is kept as an image (no search or translation).
- Right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew) — Arabic and Hebrew PDFs convert only when their text layer is intact; broken text layers are rejected with the reason shown.
- Indexes with three or more columns — Dense three-column indexes may come out with entries merged or page numbers detached.
- Cover and poster pages — Cover and poster-like pages are kept as one image (no text search or translation); small logo lettering may be clipped.
Q.09 Is PalmDox a service I can rely on?
PalmDox is built by nexonbook Corp. (nexonbook.com). The company was founded on 18 May 2011 and has been developing and supplying software ever since — 15 years.
What we have built through those years is online software with data security at its centre, and the service has run on AWS as a SaaS throughout. PalmDox continues that line — encrypted in transit and at rest, content that will not open just because someone knows the address (every open issues a signed link good for fifteen minutes), and, inside a downloaded PalmDox file, content encrypted with AES-256-GCM. What is locked at each stage is written out in the Security section above, in six cards.
