There is no way to translate a PDF as such because it is not an editable format, so the workaround that Studio uses is that it extracts the text for translation and then saves it in a WORD document.
You will always get a WORD document as target. This is not specific to Studio.
Translating a PDF should always be a "last resort" scenario. Whenever possible, you should ask for the source document that was used to create the PDF in the first place.
