Arabic Text-Area Not Showing Up Correctly

DynamicPDF CoreSuite for .NET (v12) Forum

When we create a PDF and using a text area and merge Arabic data from our CRM system we don't see exactly the same value.

Original string data from CRM system:
09-1808 ، مبنى رقم7277، طابق رقم 18 برج الفيصلية، طريق الملك فهد السريع صندوق بريد 54995, الرياض,  11524

The value we see in the PDF after we build a text-area is the following.

‏8081-90 ، مبنى رقم7727، طابق رقم 81 برج الفيصلية، طريق الملك فهد السريع صندوق بريد 59945‏

We see that the numbers are a flipped and the order of text is different. We ran some test with Kerning off and on.

Can anyone help me point out what could be causing this?

Sample code:
private void InsertTestPage()
        {
            //RUN THIS TEST
            Document testDoc = new Document();
            Page testPage = new Page(PageSize.Letter, PageOrientation.Portrait);
            string arabicTest = "09-1808 ، مبنى رقم7277، طابق رقم 18 برج الفيصلية، طريق الملك فهد السريع صندوق بريد 54995";
            string arabicTest2 = "20717064 ؄؈أؤ ڲڈډۋ ڬۂ ڣڍڪٸ ڷڟہڀ";
            Font arial = new OpenTypeFont("D:\\Tempy\\arial.ttf");
            var arialKerningTest = arial.HasKerning();
            TextArea arialWithKerning = new TextArea(arabicTest, 0, 0, 2000, 2000, arial)
            {
                RightToLeft = true,
                KerningEnabled = true
            };
            testPage.Elements.Add(arialWithKerning);
            TextArea arialWithoutKerning = new TextArea(arabicTest, 0, 20, 2000, 2000, arial)
            {
                RightToLeft = true
            };
            testPage.Elements.Add(arialWithoutKerning);
            TextArea arialWithKerning1 = new TextArea(arabicTest2, 0, 200, 2000, 2000, arial)
            {
                RightToLeft = true,
                KerningEnabled = true
            };
            testPage.Elements.Add(arialWithKerning1);
            TextArea arialWithoutKerning1 = new TextArea(arabicTest2, 0, 220, 2000, 2000, arial)
            {
                RightToLeft = true
            };
            testPage.Elements.Add(arialWithoutKerning1);
           

            testDoc.Pages.Add(testPage);
            testDoc.Draw("D:\\Temp\\righttolefttest.pdf");
        }

Hi,

Please try setting TextAlign property of TextArea to Right and see if it helps.

Here is a code sample.

            textAreaObj.RightToLeft = true;
            textAreaObj.Align = TextAlign.Right;

Thanks,
