Hello,
I'm using pdfbox version 2.0.6 on Linux 7.
My Java program reads a pdf template file and fill some areas (image and
text) to produce a new pdf document .
There is English text written LeftToRight and Arabic text to be written
RightToLeft.
Here is an extract of template document loading and configuration :
{code}
....
fontStream = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("arialbd.ttf");
logger.debug("Loading PDF template file ");
doc = PDDocument.load(pdfTemplateStream);
logger.debug("Loading font file into the document");
PDFont font = PDType0Font.load(doc, fontStream);
// Will edit the page 0
PDPage page = doc.getPage(0);
doc.setDocumentInformation(docInfo);
PDPageContentStream content = new PDPageContentStream(doc,
page, PDPageContentStream.AppendMode.APPEND, false, true);
content.setFont(font, fontSize); ...
{code}
Here is an extract of adding text :
{code}
content.beginText();
content.showText(text);
content.endText();
{code}
My problem is that the Arabic text is not printed correctly into the pdf
document, I do not know Arab language so it is hard to see what is wrong
but my feeling is that the text is written in a wrong order...
For example the following text composed of 'Single' + a slash + the Arab
translation of the word 'Single' : Single / زيارة واحدة Is printed like
this : Single / ةرايز ةدحاو
Any Idea what I should do to fix this ?
writing Arabic text is not supported in the current version of PDFBox as are
other languages which require RTL and/or complex script.
It's not only about reversing the order of the string but selecting the
correct shape for a character based on it's position within a word.
