I can't add chinese font into a pdf

[yozloy@adobeforums.com]

I have scanned a book and OCR it into an PDF file. I want do some translation work that change the English to Chinese. I only use the Touchup tool, It's so hard to do, I have to right-click-properties-change the font to Simsun(It's the only Chinese font I can find in the font list), and when I type one word, the font set back to the original Arial, I can't do it in this way
Anyone have a good way to help me? I'll really appreciate your help

I must tell you that I have heard from many people who have had the
idea that a PDF file is a good start for translation, or had the task
of translating a PDF. I have not heard from anyone who succeeded.

Remake the document. Use the scanner to keep the pictures, but lay out
everything else new.

Use a proper translation tool, like SDL Trados. Acrobat is not a word processing application, and definitely not a translation application.

Thanks Aandi andTry67 , I didn't say clearly, I can do the translation by myself, I just can't type in the Chinese characters into the Text area, which I can use touchup text tool to select and modify, but It seems difficult to type in Chinese character, because I have to use properties to change font in every other words! So it's impossible for me to type.

You don't understand our thrust. PDF files are really not meant for
editing! Only the most minor of changes can be made and even if you can
change a single letter, you cannot expect the text on the page to follow
its previous course. It might, but all to often it will not. I have
seen changing one letter ruin several lines of text! It is always,
always, ALWAYS better to create the document anew rather than try any
serious editing. Even with minor editing it is better to recreate the
document if possible.

> I just can't type in the Chinese characters into the Text area,

Exactly. That's what I thought. I very strongly advise you: PDF is not
suitable, give up on the idea of translating a PDF while keeping it a
PDF. I repeat my advice: remake the document.
