Arabic Text in Adobe

السلام

is displaying the word like this: م ا ل س ل ا in Adobe Acrobat - has this issue been fixed?

If fixed, what is the resolution and in what version?

There are areas in Acrobat that supports Arabic and other areas that doesn't, can you clarify what are you trying to do? Perhaps you're using Fill & Sign which doesn't support Arabic well yet!

I have a document displayed in HTML which I am converting from HTML to PDF and I get this issue:

It must be the method of converting to PDF that is not suitable for Arabic. For proper conversion, it is better to have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro that supports Arabic to convert web or document with HTML content.

Here is a screenshot of a web page from BBC news in Arabic converted to PDF just now with Acrobat Pro.
