I have some puzzle books from Nikoli in pdf format. I would like to know what some of the Japanese text says. The pages are in bitmap format so that selecting the text doesn't work in Preview. Live Text is a bit mysterious, but seems to work in Safari and Preview, only not for PDFs, and even offers a very handy option to translate the selected text. Does anyone know of a similarly convenient way for this to work for PDFs?

This is on Macos Monterey on an Intel iMac, if that makes any difference.
