Search in Hebrew text in PDF

Question

This is a problem that has been solved in the past but has reemerged. I'm using Chrome Version 129.0.6668.71 (Official Build) (64-bit), and when I try to conduct a search in a Hebrew PDF document it only works if I write the search words backwards (mirror writing ). Fort instance searching for the word חתול I would have to write לותח. Has anyone else encountered the problem?

@shirlye42923028 You may want to try and post this in the Acrobat section and not Photoshop (likely why it took forever to answer this post)

Hebrew is written right-to-left, while most search engines like Chrime are designed with left-to-right languages in mind. This creates a conflict. You could try adding Hebrew as an input language on your computer system and set as the default when you're working with Hebrew text. This may help the text is processed. Also, maybe try updating Chrome it might even help with all this too.
