good day dears, 

i'm facing an issue in sign and fill when i try to write in arabic as shown in the attached screenshot

the letters are separed indivdually it has to be connected.

my version is 2020.012.20043

    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!

      Dear Zaid, I went through many Q&A about Adobe "Fill & Sign" failing in Arabic language. However, you always answer people instead of Adobe representatives. Inadvertedly, you are blocking the issue from reaching Adobe staff. Please do not respond and let Adobe official representatives deal with the question, so they can report it back. Hopefully this will make the issue get noticed.

      Many thanks,,

      @1 World 

      Good day, the whole purpose of this community forums is for Adobe users to assist each other. We "Community Experts" have a duty to actively jump in to provide answers wherever we can, and this is a commitment agreed between Adobe and us Community Experts.

      I assure you that many Adobe staff are checking our answers and are answering directly here too, it doesn't matter whether we Community Experts were involved in answering a post or not.

      With regards to the Fill & Sign in Acrobat, I join your voice as well as other users in requesting Acrobat development team to fix this issue which was reported by hundreds of users. I talked to quite few Adobe staff in different departments including the localization team, and Acrobat programmers/developers, they are all aware about this matter and I personally have submitted my findings in details to them in a face-to-face, or online meetings. I have linked in my answer above to the Bug report page which again hundreds of Arab users have voted on the issue we raised since year 2017 and yet, we didn't get a fix from Adobe which is a shame really.

      I join you and other users in raising this matter yet again to the concerned team at Adobe to address this bug and I don't see what could be the reason for such delay!
