Hi, I believe this works in principle. However, SDAPS is currently hard- coded to use pdflatex rather than xetex.
You can, however, switch to xetex by editing defs.py and replacing "pdflatex" with "xetex". This should work perfectly. There is one small caveat with xetex. It seems that the font rendering in xetex changes more regularly (in very minor ways). This may mean that the questionnaire changes in subtil ways resulting in the survey ID (the bottom right barcode) to change if you recreate the project. So it might be a good idea to not upgrade xetex before you have finished everything (I would also suggest that if pdflatex is used even though the risk is much smaller). Hope this helps, Benjamin On Sun, 2018-07-22 at 21:03 +0200, marta parigi wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm trying to build a questionnaire in Arabic using SDAPS.
