How do I extract Arabic Text using Acrobat DC?

[tonym95322753]

I want to extract Arabic text from a pdf. I have attempted many things with no success including exporting to word format, simple copy and paste, installing the apparent font (AXtGIHane), scanning/ocr, etc... Nothing has worked.  I downloaded the trial version of Acrobat DC, and have attempted several things with it as well (installing fonts, exporting, editing, trying to use OCR), without success.  I can see that it has many features/settings so I may be missing something. I notice that when I look for Arabic among the language list, it is not present.  I would be happy to provide a the file I'm using, or a portion of it. Although I'm working with the Macintosh version, I also have Windows 10 available, if that would help.

Thanks for your help,

-Tony

Sadly nothing yet, I'm constantly visiting this page to see the progress as I have heaps of customers requesting this feature all the time.

Adobe doesn't pay attention to the need of Arabic users?

Is there any progress in this matter

it's been almost 3 years now, and our company has got a big group of full ADOBE DC license. If this issue wasn't solved I wonder why?

Adobe scientists 3 decades not enough to support Arabic.

Is it normal??
