Azure Translator - Can I keep document layout for synchronous scrolling?

Hi,
I need to translate pdf document, and then display both, original and translated side by side.
When I'm using Azure Translator, translated document doesn't keep the format of the original one. If the translated text is longer, it will take extra space for that, so I can’t use it for synchronous scrolling. Is there an option to keep the document layout of translated document? Google cloud translator is doing that by default.

There is example:
Original document is in Portuguese and I'm translating it to Polish. The document on the left is translated by Azure, in a middle by Google and the one on the right is the original one.

@PaweRycki-6463 Are you using the Azure translator API's document translator feature or the API?
I believe the options at this time are limited i.e preserving the layout of the document might not be available.

@romungi-MSFT I'm using document translator feature. I was following this steps: start-translation
I hope that there are some parameters for preserving layout that I didn't find. Or maybe Custom Translator supports that.
