That's the normal behavior for RTL. You may use LTR and it will look good to
you but maybe not for an arabic reader (the dot will be placed on the right
instead of the expected left). There's no easy solution, if any, you'll just
have to know and this is not an iText specific problem. You may inspect the
first non neutral char and go from there but it's no assurance that it will be
correct.

Subject: [iText-questions] Unable to add Engish & Arabic characters
togetherto PDF
Hi,
I have the requirement to generate a PDF, with a field which can have either
english or arabic (Or Both) text. I am quite new to iText. I am using
"com.lowagie.text" package to achieve the task. I need to make use of this only
as there is already lot of code dependent on it.
To achieve this, i am doing the following:
a) calling setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL) on the PdfPCell.
b) Also, using Font "ARIALUNI.TTF".
But, the problem i am facing is if have the input as "Testing this text."
I get the text on generated pdf as ".Testing this text"
The character "." in put at the beginning instead of last. This happens with
character "(" if put it at the last.
Please let me know how to resolve it as the field i am talking about here is
an input field for user. So, i have no control over what characters user enters
to the field.
I really appreciate a lot any help from any of you on this front.
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen
