php - Arabic script in PDF created by UFPDF

Question

I have issues with Arabic script inside a PDF document created by UFPDF, that is an extension of FPDF that supports unicode fonts. I have correctly converted Arial font to the format waited by UFPDF, and I have no issue with Unicode special characters in other languages (e.g. French, Spanish, German, etc.)

The single characters of Arabic script are not shown from right to left, but from left to right and it splits as single chars.

E.g.: ????? (school) is shown like ? ? ? ? ?

How to handle?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Use TCPDF http://www.tcpdf.org/ instead. It can handle UTF-8 Unicode and Right-To-Left languages.

I think if I am not wrong it's based on FPDF. So any code you already have for FPDF might work with TCPDF.
