How do I translate a letter recieved in PDF format

Hi Guys and Gals,
Can any of you 'techy' sorts help me to translate an email that I have recieved from Belgium, in French...it is in PDF format. I'm sure I have done it before, but am a complete 'blank' at the minute..and it needs an urgent reply.
Thanks in anticipation,
Jackie ;)

    Go to google translate and copy the text into it?

    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    I'd copy the text and put it into the alta vista babelfish translator...

    If it's not too personal, and not too long, I'm sure many of the older participants here have learned Ffrench when they were at skool, and so could translate it trivially... :D

    Thanks guys, Nicely translated. It wasn't that personal John, just confirmation that I had secured tickets to see Andre Reiu & the Strauss Orchestra in concert in Brussels in November. I could have done it through an English Ticket Agent, but tickets with a face value of €80 were for sale at €128, so I thought I would try direct to the venue. There wasn't 4 tickets together in the seating area of our choice, but for €100 there was in the VIP Comfort seat Area. This gives us direct access ( no queuing, comfortable seats, and access to the VIP lounge and bar before and during the interval of the performance..and free parking if we needed it)
    It won't be a cheap weekend by the time we have flights and hotels sorted, but it is for a special birthday for myself and my daughter, so we won't begrudge the cost: and WOW!! what an experience it will be ..the atmosphere will be electric.
