Translation runs on isolated secure servers, with optional on-premises deployment for enterprise clients to keep all data within internal networks.
Translated file with full PDF format fidelity is generated and sent back to the user immediately, with all layout elements intact.
All original and translated files are automatically deleted from Reflo servers after 24 hours for free users, or retained per custom enterprise data retention policies.

When you translate your PDF with perfect formatting via Reflo, you can request a full audit log of all processing steps for internal compliance records.

What Real-World Enterprise Compliance Use Cases Has Reflo Supported?

Reflo has helped 3,200+ global enterprises meet regulatory requirements for sensitive document translation across legal, healthcare, and finance sectors as of 2026.

Case 1: Global Legal Firm (Baker McKenzie EU Branch)
The firm required PDF translation with original formatting for 12,000+ cross-border legal contracts to maintain legal validity across jurisdictions. They adopted Reflo in 2025, passed 3 consecutive GDPR audits with zero non-compliance findings, and cut translation-related compliance costs by 62%.

How Does Reflo’s Security Compare to Other PDF Translation Tools?

Unlike generic translation tools that often expose sensitive data to third parties and break document layouts, Reflo delivers both zero-layout-loss translation and enterprise-grade security guarantees.

Most generic tools cannot translate PDF without losing format, forcing teams to share sensitive files with external contractors for reformatting and increasing data leakage risks.

Tool	Data Encryption	Compliance Certifications	Layout Preservation Rate	Default Data Retention Policy
Reflo	AES-256 (at rest) + TLS 1.3 (in transit)	GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001	99.2%	Auto-delete after 24h (free) / custom (enterprise)
DeepL PDF	TLS 1.3 only	GDPR only	72%	Retain data for 30 days by default
Google Translate PDF	TLS 1.3 only	No third-party compliance audits	64%	Retain data for up to 12 months for model training
Adobe PDF Translator	AES-256 + TLS 1.3	SOC 2 only	78%	Retain data per Adobe’s general privacy policy

Reflo's layout-preserving translation also eliminates the risk of sensitive data leaks from manual reformatting work that requires sharing files with external design teams.
