Arabic Language support

You are not paying any attention to the Arabic language, and this bothers me greatly, because I have been demanding this for several years and there has been no response from you, so please provide the Arabic language package, especially for the OCR function, which is very important to us.

    Hi @Abosalah

     

    Thank you for reaching out. I understand you're looking for OCR support for Arabic documents in Acrobat and that this capability is important for your workflow.

    At this time, Arabic is not a supported OCR language in Acrobat. You can review the current list of supported OCR languages here: Supported Languages for OCR.

    You may also find the following article helpful, as it covers Arabic and Hebrew language support in PDFs, including right-to-left text options available in Acrobat: Asian, European, and Middle Eastern Language Support in PDFs.

     

    Since the Arabic OCR support is important for your workflow, you may submit a feature request through the Adobe Wish Form. If a similar request already exists, please consider adding your vote and sharing your use case.

     

    Hope this helps, feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.

     

    Regards,
    Amal
