See the example arabic_hebrew.java in www.geocities.com/itextpdf.
The conversion of arabic to unicode depends on the encoding. If the encoding
is Cp1256 then:
String s = new String(my_byte_array_with_arabic, "Cp1256");

Subject: [iText-questions] HELP!
To whom it may concern Hello and help,
i am using the Itext library or should i say struggling with it ?
my problem is that i want to write arabic txt in a pdf file, after
fights i could manage to display arabic using the paragraph, i have a
unicode class that transforms arabic text to unicode forms i.e
/u0627/......
but the problem is that what i call the class arabic is displayed in the
correct direction but the characters are not combined together each
character is written alone!!!! and as u know in arabic characters are
comibined together, but if ur pass to the paragraph directly the unicode
/u027/.... arabic comes correctly.
now u might tell me use column text or arabic shaping, i tried the
column text but i dunno why i am getting error messages like it is not
comptible with sun whatever, i read the arabic shaping class but stil i
didn't find a method to which i send a string or a text and get the
unicode back and if it will just return each character alone, i already
created a class like that.
now is there a solution to display arabic text correctly??/? if yes can
u please show me a code sample or example to which u don't send directly
the unicode /uo627/etc, i want to call a class to transform arabic text
to unicode and then place it in the paragraph example:
x=new paragraph(unicode.convert("����"),new Font(bf,16)); where unicode
is my class that transform arabic text to unicode and convert is the
method that does the job,
P.S i used the same idea in add.text i got blank!!! or even the unidcode
is appearing and not the text why?
regards and hope u can help me with a piece of code or at least a
detailed explanation
thank you for ur efforts
bye
