Hi
I am from FirstApex Technologies, Bangalore and into Insurance
Product Development.
We are facing a similar issue in our product implementation in the
Middle East, as reported in the bug report below - Bug Number
42307. We are using JFO to convert RTF documents in Arabic to PDF.
I suspect you are referring to JFOR, which is a currently inactive
Sourceforge project. The code has been donated to and merged into
Apache FOP, and as of versions 0.9x, FOP also provides RTF output.
However after conversion, the character ordering gets reversed as
mentioned in the bug report. I understand that JFO uses FOP
Technology to render PDF. Is this bug resolved? If not kindly
provide us an alternative solution, since we will have to move our
product to Live in less than 3 weeks time and we are running out of
options.

AFAIK, the problem still exists in the current FOP version (0.95),
simply because up to now, no one has really needed Arabic text badly
enough.
The only viable alternatives are either:
- use a commercial FO implementation
- help us improve FOP by submitting a patch to fix the problem
