Hi Roi, 

Currently we do not have support to “Draw RTL text in the PDF document in Xamarin Forms”. We have added to this in our feature request list and will be implemented in any of our release.   

 

Please find the our support list in the below link:

We have implemented the feature with “Need to add support for Draw RTL text in Xamarin Platform” in this release. Please refer the below code snippet for further details. 

 

           //Create a new PDF document.  

            PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(); 

            //Add a new PDF page. 

            PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();  

            //Create new PdfTrueTypeFont instance. 

            //Load the font from assets. 

            Stream fontStream = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo(). 

            Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream 

            ("RTLDemo.Assets.arial.ttf"); PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(fontStream, 12); 

            //Create a PdfStringFormat. 

            PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat(); 

            //Set text direction.  

            format.TextDirection = PdfTextDirection.RightToLeft; 

            //Set text alignment.  

            format.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Right; 

            //Draw text to the PDF document. 

            page.Graphics.DrawString("بالعالم مرحبا !",font, PdfBrushes.Black, Syncfusion.Drawing.PointF.Empty, format); 

            //Save document. 

            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); 

            document.Save(ms); 

            //Close the PdfDocument instance. 

            document.Close(true);
