RE: create arabic pdf
I'm not sure, but I think the commercial lib xmlpdf (www.xmlpdf.com) might be able to handle some of this stuff :) :) toke -Original Message- From: nafise hassani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26. december 2004 06:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: create arabic pdf hi Anybody knows how to Create PDF with Arabic words?

Other than that, the best solution would seem to be to contribute to the open-source work. Neither of the issues that you mention is easy to solve, and it is likely to be some time before an open-source solution is available. If you need a solution today, I think you have to look at the commercial implementations. BTW, in my previous posting I used the word "bidi" where I meant writing-mode. The answer is the same.

To handle the ligatures properly requires (I think) the use of the OpenType GPOS tables. The commercial implementations are your best bet right now. I think that RenderX handles the bidi issue, but not the ligature issue correctly.

Re: create arabic pdf
Hello,
I don't know if FOP has this capability, but a search
on "Arabic" in our archives [1] ("Hebrew" may help as
well, as that's another R-to-L language) is giving
several links that may answer your question.
Also a Google on "FOP Arabic" (without the quotes)
gives thousands of hits.
Let us know if you're able to get it done, and which
link(s) helped you the most.
Thanks,
Glen
