[iText-questions] HTMLWorker and arabic direction RTL

[Abdelaziz Fitouri]

Hi ,

I have a HTML code snippet which contains <table> in which the columns
contain Arabic text.
after rendering the html snippet by  "HTMLWorker" class the resulting
element
is instance of a PdfPTable which is shown in the pdf file but the text 
direction is from left to right.

i have tried with Stylesheet class, PdfTable.setRunDirection(), but the 
text is always from left to right.

Are they any solution to this problem?

thank you


here is a part of my code: 

                         Document document = new Document();
                         writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,os);
 
                        document.open();
 
 
                        FontFactory.register(
"C:\\windows\\Fonts\\ARIALBD.TTF");
                        //FontFactory.register("C:\\ARIALUNI.TTF");
                        StyleSheet st = new StyleSheet();
                        st.loadTagStyle("font", "face", "Arial Bold"); 
                        st.loadTagStyle("body", "encoding", "Identity-H"); 

                        //st.loadTagStyle("font", "size", "12"); 
                        st.loadTagStyle("div", "align", "Left");
                        st.loadTagStyle("div", "dir", "rtl");
                        st.loadTagStyle("table", "dir", "rtl");
 
 
 
 
                        HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(document);
                        //System.out.println(content);
                        StringReader stringReader = new 
StringReader(content);   //content is the string containing html code
 
                        ArrayList pl = HTMLWorker.parseToList
(stringReader, st);
 
                        for (int k = 0; k < pl.size(); ++k)
                        { 
                                PdfPTable tbl = (PdfPTable) 
((Element)pl.get(k));
                                tbl.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.
RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
                                document.add(tbl);
                        System.out
.println(((Element)pl.get(k)).toString());}
                        document.close();
