Let's have a bit more disclosure about this, please. The email service will not translate a document where the "copy to text" bit has been set to "disabled. I can show you PDF documents which allow printing but disallow copying to text and/or html. Such documents will not be translated by this service, right? I find this most unfortunate, by the way. It tempts me to start a competing email PDF translation service which simply ignores such discriminatory, and illegal, settings.
