Lilt supports import and export of the formats listed in the table below. Moreover, export to both plain text and XLIFF 1.2 is available for any import format (see Download your work). All translated and confirmed segments can also be exported in TMX format for each Memory. Supported translation memory formats are TMX and SDLTM.

Microsoft Office legacy file formats doc, xls, and ppt support only text or xliff export, and will not support export to original format.
PDF files can only be imported as such and will be available for text export. Note also that PDF sometimes contains hard line breaks which can result in unfavorable segmentation. We suggest to either use the original file format, if available, or convert PDF to Word (there are lots of very good free tools for this) and translate that. Word can then save PDF again. In case you already started or even finished translating a PDF but require the original formatting, you can convert the PDF to Word and upload that to the same project. Exact matches from your PDF translation will then be autopropagated to this new document.
