Filling a form in Arabic

Hey all,

I am filling a PDF using Arabic alphabets. it seems fine while I am printing them, as Shown:

But when I save the file, then open it, the Arabic alphabets characters I printed on the file is shown as separated characters ! 


I updated the software, and restarted my PC but the problem still occurs.

I am using Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit  OS.

Thanks in advanced,
Aziz

The discussion here is about Fill & Sign which fails with Arabic. However, Acrobat supports forms with Arabic content very well.

Hi abdulazizalmoh

Assuming you are using Acrobat Reader to fill the form, could you please let me know the version of Acrobat Reader installed on the machine?

Launch Reader>About Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Have you tried with another file?

What is the workflow you are following?

Would it be possible to share the form with us, i have sent you a private message for the same, please respond to that message.

Thank You,

Shivam
