Arabic words not printing on documents

DynamicPDF CoreSuite for .NET (v8) Forum

Hi guys we have problem with Arabic words not printing on documents. We are using DynamicPDF Generator for .NET  v8.x
As I have read from past forum threads but they are kind of old answers ( http://www.dynamicpdf.com/Forums/DisplayThread.csp?FD=18&TD=2214) I have tried using Open Type Fonts that have the letters for Arabic language, and "Arial.ttf" works only for showing the Words in Arabic, BUT THEY ARE PRINTING BACKWARD.
 
Can you help me and give me advice what are the possible solutions for fixing this issue with printing backward Arabic text.
 
1. What are the options for printing the text from Right to Left?
2. Is there option where we can check if the text is Arabic and to use that option only in that case?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

1. The DynamicPDF for .NET product supports adding text in right to left format. You will need to use the TextArea or Label page element and set the RightToLeft Boolean property to true. This will enable adding the text in right to left format.

2. It is not possible to detect the language type of the text (whether the text is Arabic) using DynamicPDF for .NET API. If you enable the RighToLeft property for the TextArea or Label then whole text which is being added to the PDF will be added in right to left format, irrespective of type of language.

Thanks,
