I'd like to purchase Adobe ExportPDF, but wanted to be sure first, that I will be able to convert Arabic pdf files to Arabic Word files. Isn't it possible to make a sample conversion before buying? Thank you

    As this service also comes with Acrobat Pro DC (subscription license), it apparently uses same conversion engine. My tests in the past on a mobile device, and today's test using web browser on a desktop machine resulted very much similar success rate of Acrobat Pro DC i.e. poor conversion if the PDF has Arabic content.

    Here is the language list for the online service, it's missing Arabic…

    Hi,

    The product I'm interested in isn't Acrobat. There's a product called "Adobe EXPORT PDF" and I cannot find whether it can handle Arabic or not.

    I understand from you message that you want to purchase Adobe Acrobat, and that you wish to have your PDF with Arabic content converted properly to Microsoft Word format.

    Well, the simple answer to the PDF conversion is it is possible with very limited success. You may download a trial copy of Acrobat to do the testing.

    If your testing results were not satisfactory, I advise you of requesting Acrobat team to enhance this feature and make it supports Arabic. You're kindly invited to vote for the bug fix/feature request here.
