You can make the test yourself (I think this one is a good sample text for checking that). <ul> telefonica.net/web2/jmtru/arabe/quecae.html</ul> Try switching to 'Arabic (Windows-1256)' encoding view and you'll see what I'm saying. With the 'Unicode (UTF-8)' encoding the result is even worst. mutaryim on "non-Latin characters: Problem with Arabic letters" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/non-latin-characters-problem-with-arabic-letters#post-856 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:45:52 +0000 mutaryim 856@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ These are the URLs for the 1st webpage (Spanish with some Arabic words): telefonica.net/web2/jmtru/arabe/quecae.html I tried other view encodings (Arabic standards) and the Arabic letters are well captured when printing from this webpage, but there are some letters from the Spanish text that are not well viewed (on the screen and in the print). for the 2nd webpage (fully in Arabic): al-fateh.net/fateh-d/fa-09-151/farha.htm I tried printing the second one from MS Explorer but I had the same problem. And when selecting UTF-8 enconding in the MS EXplorer, the web page turns into a blank page (everything disappears). In the Firefox, when switching to the UTF-8 encoding view, I get funny characters instead the Arabic text. I get this: �� Hopefully you can help me :-( Softland on "non-Latin characters: Problem with Arabic letters" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/non-latin-characters-problem-with-arabic-letters#post-853 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:50:31 +0000 Softland 853@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ Try printing from MS Explorer too, and check what option you have selected in View-Encoding (if it's not, try selecting UTF-8); seems strange that it doesn't convert the characters. Also, what's the url for the second example you gave in the other post? mutaryim on "non-Latin characters: Problem with Arabic letters" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/non-latin-characters-problem-with-arabic-letters#post-852 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:23:42 +0000 mutaryim 852@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ I forgot to say that I use the Firefox browser (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11).

My only problem I found using doPDF is when wishing to make a PDF of a website containing Arabic fonts. In MS Word (I havent tested this in a website), if the Arabic font is one of the most commonly used like Times NewRoman or Arial, there seems not to be a problem with it. But if other Arabic (typical) font is used, then the document is not properly captured. See this examples, not for MS Word, but for some websites with not so exotic Arabic fonts: This is a screenshot: <img src="http://i40.tinypic.com/qntppg.jpg"> and this is the output with doPDF: <img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/24w6g44.jpg"> Another example (this is even worst because it does not capture at all the Arabic Script: screenshot: <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/2hwcnj6.jpg"> doPDF output: <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/213qivk.jpg"> Hopefully there would be a solution to this problem in the next doPDF's version. :-s Softland on "non-Latin characters: Problem with Arabic letters" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/non-latin-characters-problem-with-arabic-letters#post-695 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:44:06 +0000 Softland 695@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ mike, try also printing from a different browser; and another test you could do is printing but checking the Embed fonts option too. mike.bch on "non-Latin characters: Problem with Arabic letters" http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/non-latin-characters-problem-with-arabic-letters#post-691 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:06:18 +0000 mike.bch 691@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ I have similar problem with printing in French. Accented French letters, like é, â print out like question marks I tried several pages, like leparisien.fr. Just open any article and click the print button (to the side of the text). I am using international english keyboard. I mean, I can print this accented chars. I also have French keyboard installed. I am using Windows XP Home edition with Hebrew enabled.

Is it possible to send a document you tested and didn't work correctly to info[at]dopdf[dot]com (we need the document in the original format, and also the output that you obtained)?

My question is related to documents including Arabic words or fully writen in Arabic language. Apparently doPDF does not recognise most of the Arabic characters and the layout od the document is not respected. I hope that in a following version this problem will be solved. Thanks for considering this feedback.
