RE: [PDFdev] pdf in hebrew

[Xavier Walhin]

Printing the glyphs is not a problem for me. The real problem is to print hebrew words keeping their "logic". Any user should be able to search and find a word within a pdf file, otherwise I do not see the advantage of pdf!  How does hebrew (or arabic) people write a searchable pdf?   Xavier -----Original Message----- From: Jens Boschulte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 10 d�cembre 2003 13:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: [PDFdev] pdf in hebrew Hallo Xavier,   Of course, a PDF file supports any language of the world. But that means not, that a PDF viewer does directly support a language such as Hebrew, Arabic or what ever.   If you want to create such PDF files, you must implement a bidi-algorithm and your application must implement Hebrew code pages or Unicode.   In both cases, it is not easy to create Hebrew PDF files.   Greetings   Jens Boschulte www.dynaforms.com   -----Original Message----- Hello,   Is it possible to write an hebrew text in a pdf? Moreover, is is possible to mix hebrew and english? Is there a "bidirectionality algorithm" as there is in html or rtf formats?   thanks   Xavier
