So, you have a hared copy only of the document? I'm assuming this, but you haven'T said. What language is it in?
There used to be a program called textbridge pro years ago.. which had a built in OCR - Optical character recognition.
Once scanned, it would read the page and recognise the characters. Once you have a soft copy of the document, google translate can translate entire documents.
