Bug ID: 151788
Summary: Imported Arabic/Persian text from PDF should go
through unshaping Algorithm
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Recently, an old regression that prevented opening Arabic/Persian/Hebrew PDF
files correctly in Draw is fixed by patches from Kevin Suo (thanks!).
But, there are still problems that prevent one from being able to edit the PDF
file.
The main problem is that characters are shaped in Arabic script according to
the position of the character. Thus, for example if you convert the text ضمیمه
into PDF, you will get ﺿﻤﯿﻤﻪ which is ﺿ ﻤ ﯿ ﻤ ﻪ instead of ض م ی م ه.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attachment 129523
2. Try to edit the text from first line
Actual Results:
Characters are shaped ones, instead of normal Arabic/Persian characters
Expected Results:
Characters should be unshaped, so that the user can edit the text
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Happens in the LO 7.5 dev master after the fix
