Typing in Arabic in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Hello there I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Continuous Release Version 2021.005.20048 and I'm trying to fill up some documents in Arabic but when I type up in Arabic it goes like : م ر ح ب ه instead of مرحبه. I tried also to find language pack or fonts pack everywhere but every link I click on takes me to nowhere. I tryied aslo to change the font to arabic from settings or from the text layer but I still don't have an option to change my font. Can you assist me with this?

I think you're trying to fill a PDF form using Adobe Fill & Sign, if my guess is correct, then this feature doesn't support Arabic yet. Check this bug report to see the progress of our request.

 

If however, you're trying to fill a normal PDF form that has existing interactive or fillable form fields, then this supports Arabic well, and should work on Mac and Windows as long as your computer should have Arabic Language installed.

 

There is no such thing as a language pack in Acrobat Reader/Pro/Standard that you can install to make it support Arabic, Acrobat supports Arabic out of the box, but as you realize by now not all features in the program support Arabic well.

 

You may shed more light on which option or feature you're using to fill up the document with Arabic text so we can help you better.
