Hi

I have followed your tutorial (with the free library) to fill in a Arabic PDF form with Arabic content.

When I open the saved PDF , the field content write split character like مرحبا it write م ر ح ب ا .

What am I doing wrong?

1) Your input file, your testing code as well as your output file.
2) Your testing environment information, such as OS information (E.g. Windows 7, 64bit) and Region setting (E.g. China, Chinese).

You could attach them here or send them to us(support@e-iceblue.com) via email. Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

 PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
            PdfUnitConvertor unitCvtr = new PdfUnitConvertor();
            PdfMargins margin = new PdfMargins();
            margin.Top = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(2.54f, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point);
            margin.Bottom = margin.Top;
            margin.Left = unitCvtr.ConvertUnits(3.17f, PdfGraphicsUnit.Centimeter, PdfGraphicsUnit.Point);
            margin.Right = margin.Left;
            PdfPageBase page = doc.Pages.Add(PdfPageSize.A4, margin);
            float y = 10;
            PdfBrush brush1 = PdfBrushes.Black;
            PdfTrueTypeFont font1 = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("./Alef-Regular.ttf", 16f, FontStyle.Bold), true);
            PdfStringFormat format1 = new PdfStringFormat() { RightToLeft = true, Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center };
            page.Canvas.DrawString("دول العالم", font1, brush1, page.Canvas.ClientSize.Width / 2, y, format1);
            y = y + font1.MeasureString("دول العالم", format1).Height;
            y = y + 5;
            String[] data
    = {
        "الاسم;العاصمه;الدوله;المنطقه;تعداد السكان",
        "Argentina;Buenos Aires;South America;2777815;32300003",

        };
            String[][] dataSource
                = new String[data.Length][];
            for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
            {
                dataSource[i] = data[i].Split(';');
            }
            PdfTable table = new PdfTable();
            table.Style.CellPadding = 2;
            table.Style.HeaderSource = PdfHeaderSource.Rows;
            table.Style.HeaderRowCount = 1;
            table.Style.ShowHeader = true;
            table.DataSource = dataSource;
            table.Style.HeaderStyle.Font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("./Alef-Regular.ttf", 16f, FontStyle.Bold), true);
            table.Style.HeaderStyle.StringFormat = new PdfStringFormat() { RightToLeft = true, Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center };
            PdfLayoutResult result = table.Draw(page, new PointF(0, y));
            y = y + result.Bounds.Height + 5;
            PdfBrush brush2 = PdfBrushes.Gray;
            PdfTrueTypeFont font2 = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("./Alef-Regular.ttf", 16f, FontStyle.Bold), true);
            page.Canvas.DrawString(String.Format("* {0} countries in the list.", data.Length - 1), font2, brush2, 5, y);

            doc.SaveToFile("SimpleTable.pdf");
            doc.Close();

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Regarding the font "Alef", the way you used to create a PdfTrueTypeFont object is incorrect, you can refer to the following ways to set the font. However, it should be reminded that "Alef" font does not support these characters you added.

Code: Select all

            //Method1: Need to install the corresponding font in your system
            var font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(new Font("Alef", 16f, FontStyle.Bold), true);

            //Method2: Don’t need to install the corresponding font in your system
            var font = new PdfTrueTypeFont("Fonts/Alef-Regular.ttf", 16f);

As for the font "Noto Naskh Arabic", we did find that the content of the generated PDF is inconsistent with the input string. I have logged it in our bug tracking system with the ticket SPIREPDF-4390. If there is any update, we will let you know. Apologize for the inconvenience caused.
