Align text in RTL format for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, etc.

[Ilya]

Will this option be added to Xamarin Forms?
Currently, when creating PDF the Hebrew language does not show at all, just blank space.
Tried as regular text and in a table creation.

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);
