Highlighting Problem in the mobile version IPhone

Question

I can't freehand highlight my scanned Arabic language papers, the highlight tool works only with English language but not Arabic.

On the computer version it works well, I hope you solve this issue on the mobile version. I really enjoyed using Adobe reader until I faced this problem.

Attached is an example of scanned Arabic language paper.

Thank You

It works for me. I scanned a page with Arabic content, saved it as PDF on Acrobat.com, opened it on iPhone, I clicked on the highlight tool at the bottom, a mesage showed informing me that the content is an image, and that I can run the text recognition, which I did…

Soon after, another message appeared saying English text is now recognized

At this point, I was able to highlight Arabic as well as English text, though the Arabic is getting highlighted from left-to-right however it is understood that Acrobat doesn't handle Arabic well everywhere.
