Question

Enable Arabic in Illustrator CS6

We are currently working with the CS4 ME version.

After I read this document:

http://helpx.adobe.com/mena/using/arabic-hebrew.html#id_13609

I downloaded the CS6 trial to see if we can upgrade our Macs without waiting for a ME version.

I got Arabic fully enabled in Photoshop – but not in InDesign and Illustrator.

I don't find the options as described in the document above; text direction, character direction, left-bounded pages (in InDesign), and so on...

Is it possible that these feature are not integrated in the current version of CS6 or do I miss some hidden preferences (like in Photoshop the "Middle Eastern" text engine option?

Help is really appreciated!

Hi,

You may have a look at this plug in, ScribeDOOR, which allows you to edit and work in one or several of the following languages at the same time: Arabic, Azeri, Bengali, Farsi, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer/Cambodian, Lao, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Thai, Urdu, Vietnamese.

You'll find it on the WinSoft store

Hope that helps,

Resgards,

Hi,

About Illustrator and InDesign, if you're in the following regions, use these links to find more information on the Middle East and North African (MENA) editions:

About Photoshop, I believe Middle-East and North-African support is available in all versions.

Cheers,

David

You need Illustrator ME to have support for arabic language.

Currently it opens with - "New and improved features for working in Arabic and Hebrew are available in the Middle East and North African edition of this software."

But still the question remains - per older versions an arabic plugin was available – For CS6, how we can change the flow of text to be correct from right to left and in right order of characters ?
