Correct answer Zaid Al Hilali

Adobe Fill and Sign doesn't support the Arabic language fully yet, we have requested the Acrobat team to fix this bug as shown here.

I believe the issue is fixable if the Acrobat development team would look at this test I made… Type Arabic in Fill & Sign, the letters are incorrectly disjointed, exit Fill & Sign environment, choose to Edit the PDF, and add any character to the sentence I typed in Fill & Sign, even when adding a simple space, you will see the characters joins normally as they should appear!

Has there been any update regarding this? If not, can you recommend any other software because I have a need to fill in some urgent forms in Arabic and cannot find a single PDF filler software that supports Arabic texts with no issues.

You are right, they appear as comment but it is enough for me.


In that case, you can use Acrobat to place comments in Arabic language, this commenting option has no issues with Arabic.
