Looking for a free web site that will translate a PDF file from one language to another, I have a couple of french PDF ones I would like to translate to English.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Try this one, Butch! https://www.canva.com/features/pdf-translator/
Keep in mind this might now work if the PDF is an image and not text. Some of the really old PDFs were little more than a image on the page and the text couldn't be extracted very well.

That one will only do first three pages and is a trial and will not do another translation. The yandex will translate only images. What I have is a french pdf with some pages in french text and some pages with images that contain french embedded in the images.

Again, per Dangerous' comment, if they are early pdf generation, those documents are only images that contain no text.
The only solution then would be to retype manually into a more current word processor program and the run the rewrite through a translator. (I use https://www.deepl.com/en/translator)

If you can copy the text from the file, Google Translate works well enough. It also has the ability to translate images, which I just tested:
