supporting arabic fonts and rtl documents

[Mahdad Arefi]

Is there a plan on releasing pdf library with arabic language and rtl documents support?

Hi, Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Essential PDF. Essential PDF offers support for RTL languages. I have attached a sample for your reference. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/RTL_d1edff9c.zip RTL.zip But I discovered some bug with arabic support and have reported to the development team. We will try to fix it as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Ajish. >Is there a plan on releasing pdf library with arabic language and rtl documents support?

Hi, Please ignore my previous response. 1) We have support for Arabic Unicode. I have attached a sample for your reference. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/ArabicUnicode_c77d2dea.zip ArabicUnicode.zip 2) Regarding RTL language support. I will investigate and post an update soon. Thanks, Ajish. >Hi, > >Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Essential PDF. > >Essential PDF offers support for RTL languages.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

We do have an option to render Text in Right To Left direction using the IPDFGraphicState setting in the DrawText method. Currently there is a bug in implementation and I have notified the development team regarding this and it would be fixed soon.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Ajish.

Hi Mahdad, In Essential PDF setting the RightToLeft property of graphics state to true will set RTL text mode. Following code shows how to set this property and use it to draw a multi line text into pdf document,

IPDFGraphicState props = doc.CreateGraphicState();
props.RightToLeft = true;
doc.LastPage.Graphics.DrawMultiText(10,10,240,190, sourceTextRTL, font, props);

Here is a sample for your reference. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Mahdad, Sorry for the confusion in my previous response. Right To Left direction support using IPDFGraphicState was not a bug and it works fone. Here is a sample for you to refer. Please let me know if you have any other questions Thanks, Ajish. >Hi Mahdad, > >In Essential PDF setting the RightToLeft property of graphics state to true will set RTL text mode.

Hi Mahdad,

I spend some time on investigating this problem. The problem is that in Arabic language one characters or groups of characters change on another characters or groups of characters. We are investigating on this issue further and need some more time to resolve this issue. I will send you an update as soon as this issue is fixed.

Regards,
Ajish.

Hi Mahdad, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Here is the current status of this issue, it has been fixed and it will be available in the next release, which is planned in 2 to 3 weeks time frame. I have attached the pdf file generated with Arabic text using the new fix. We would really appreciate any feedback that you might have on this Arabic language support. Thanks, Ajish.
