Acrobat X and Hebrew / Arabic

In my buraeu we use Acrobat Pro 9 and OS X 10.6. Using the new "Print to Adobe PDF" command from the print panel we can produce PDFs that include hebrew, greek, and other languages (in unicode encoding). The version we use is NOT the Middle Eastern specific, but the U.S., sold by Adobe in the USA. In the same production environment we test CS 5.5, which includes Acrobat X. Whenever we try to print a document (from Apple Pages, Nisus Writer Pro, or other unicode aware apps that support right to left) with the "Print to Adobe PDF" command, the operation fails, during "Validating Input". If we remove any traces of Hebrew / Arabic, the document prints as expected (e.g. Greek, Phonetic Alphabets etc).
To sum up:
Although Acrobat Pro 9 supports printing documents with Hebrew, Acrobat Pro X does not. As you can understand it is a show-stopper. Is anyone else having the same problem? Could there be a problem with the trial?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Acrobat X should print anything as long as the hebrew Font is in the system and embedded in the Document.
I'd suggest using a Utility such a OynX, Cocktail, or IceClean To  remove font caches and restart. This will for Acrobat to rebuild font cache. If a Henbrew Font is installed should pick it up.
I opened word and simplay typed  abcdef and so on in Hebrew (changed language to hebrew) so I hope I am not cussing anyone out. This is what I saw when I created a PDF:

So Acrobat X is capable of showing Hebrew.

  • RTL and Hebrew support for numbers and pages? when will we have the option for that?

    Still, after 4 years of IOS, there isnt even one sodtware that supports RTL and Hebrew\Arabic, is there a chance that in the near near future we will see that support in "Numbers" and in "Pages"?
    Thanks...

  • Arabic and Hebrew sections of a .pdf document

    I need to rearrage a .pdf that contains Arabic and Hebrew pages. Acrobat will not allow the Arabic pages to be placed anywhere but at the end of the document. I am using Acrobat 7 on a PC with PC InDesign CS3 documents as the source.
    Any hints or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Linda, did you create these files with InDesign? If so, you should edit them there and not in Acrobat. Besides that, there shouldn't be any problem moving pages, no matter which kind of text they have. What exactly happens when you try to drag the pages to a new location?

  • •  How can I correctly recuperate/extract Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew text?

    Hello -
    Context:
    As a packaging designer, my clients are often requesting that we add Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew texts on packaging.
    More often than not, I receive 4 different types of text sources :
    —  1.
    A .PDF containing a scan of the text needed (so nothing more than a picture).
    —  2.
    A .PDF whereby I can select the text and copy it into MS Word® but the sentence is no longer the same as what I had copied from the .PDF file! (e.g. some of the characters are replaced by strange ones).
    —  3.
    A .PDF file where the client has inserted an annotation which displays correctly in the Acrobat® but the moment that I do a copy/paste into MS Word®, the whole sentence is inversed (text appearing left to right instead of right to left -> For Arabic).
    —  4.
    Sometimes I also receive Excel® files.
    After copying the text into MS Word®, I save the file in .PDF format and I then re-open it in Adobe Illustrator®.
    Softwares:
              • Adobe® CS5 (Illustrator,...)
              • MS Office® 2011
              • Mac OS 10.6.8
    Question:
    Is there an easier, faster and more reliable method to extract such "exotic" text?
    e.g. a plug-in, another software, another method (instead of having to pass through MS Word®, ...)
    Thank you for your precious help.
    Have anice day…
    - Dimitri

    Not really. It's inherent in dealing with this stuff on non-native systems. Your issues 2. and 3. Should be fixable by manually setting the document language in Word, though. Same for 4. then, of course, assuming the PDFs and comments use a standard Unicode/ OpenType font that can provide al lthe glyphs and no otehr substitution is going on....

  • Arabic and Hebrew features InDesign CC (2014 release) not accessible

    Hello,
    I need to create a lay-out with Arabic content in Indesign CC (2014 release). After checking how to go about that via the help-section (online and PDF) I have to conlude that the help does not help me any further.
    It says I need to, from the paragraph panel options, set InDesign to the world-ready paragraph composer in order to have the text direction etc. features enabled. This, however, is not the case. The panel still looks like before and I get no Arabic / hebrew features.
    This is the same for the character panel, wich also does not give the shown options for Character direction as shown in the Help screenshots.
    I have followed all the suggestions in the help section.
    I have also tried setting the default paragraph editor to World-Ready via the preferences, and then restart the program, but still no success.
    Please advise, it's urgent.

    Hi,
    Every change of plugins is resetting preferences.
    Each language has its own preferences. But you move or copy them manually but you might adjust them afterward, because everylanguage has not the same functionality. At least not on the same place.

    Hi William,
    It worked!
    Allthough I did not understand that, from the CC panel, I should install the entire app again. Thought this would go through the preferences window, but I noticed that, when changing the App language in the preferences, the app-list in in the panel changes.
    Only thing is now: all the preferences and personal workspaces are gone:-(
    Adobe realy doesn't make it easy, unless you're into IT, wich i am totally and absolutely not;-)
    Antways,
    thanks for the usefull info;
    Have a great weekend

  • Arabic and hebrew browsing

    safari on iphone is supporting web sites with all languages on earth except arabic and hebrew
    Support is in fact currently pretty limited I think: W. European, E. European, Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Besides Arabic and Hebrew, a great many other scripts cannot yet be displayed, like Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Tamil, etc.

  • Dreamweaver Help | Arabic and Hebrew text

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/arabic-hebrew-text.html

    I'm a U.S. user who needs to insert and maintain short Hebrew text snippets, RTL, in otherwise LTR English Latin web pages.    US DW CS5 is unable to cope.
    This page discusses "Arabic and Hebrew"  but as of this moment (8/8/2012) all I can find on the Adobe store on the Middle East and North Africa store page are English, English-Arabic, or French-Arabic versions of DW CS6.   Does "Arabic" imply equal support of Hebrew?  (If so, this should be made explicit.)   If so,  is the English/Arabic/Hebrew DW CS6 fully bilingual?  That is, is it fully usable and maintainable by a user who speaks neither Arabic or Hebrew, only English?  Are the upgrade paths from US CS5 to  Arabic and Hebrew CS6 and so on distinct or intertwined?    Will Adobe U.S. support, in total, be able to help with the features described on this page?

  • How to install Unicode fonts (so I can see/read Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac)

    I need to be able to see/read Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac. I have Unicode fonts, but how are these installed on the Droid X? 
    Ideally, I need to also install a keyboard for these.

    The unicode font is indeed within the software, but the proper font package is not installed to support the actual characters. Hope this helped!

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite.  When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.

    I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite.  When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.  I am running Mac OS 10.10.1.  This only started happening when I installed the update of Adobe Acrobat.

    Hi MEW1,
    Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
    Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
    Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

  • I have a valid Serial # for Adobe Acrobat XI, and it shows on my account, but when I try to install it seem to automatically go to "Pro" and says that my Serial # is invalid.  I need this right away!!!!  How can I fix this???

    I really need help with this!  I have a valid Serial # for Adobe Acrobat XI and it shows on my account with Adobe.  When I try to install on my new hard drive it says that the serial # is invalid..  I tried to install the free version to get me out of a jam and it keeps saying that it failed!!!!  What can I do?

    I am on Windows 7, and I was on Adobe.com.  I went to downloads and clicked on Acrobat XI standard.  It downloaded.  But when I went to run it said Acrobat XI Pro and would not accept my serial number.  I have done this now 4 times.  I think that the system is downloading the wrong version.  I am getting very frustrated and unhappy with Adobe!!!!

  • Pages 09 and Hebrew

    I am a student at a bilingual school where English and Hebrew are taught. I have work to do in hebrew, and using Pages or Keynote with the hebrew is HORRIBLE. Once you type in hebrew into pages, you cannot see the cursor in between letters! You can only click where you want the cursor, then navigate between the letters using the keyboard arrows, still not being able to see where the cursor is until you actually start typing. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! It is insanely time consuming as well. If I try to export the document to a PC, all of the words and punctuation are scrambled into an illegible mess!!!! Most frustrating of all, there is no email address to contact Apple about this type of problem. Could someone please tell me if there is anything I can do about this, or did I waste my money not buying Microsoft Office for Mac?

    I can not even navigate between characters; it only allows me to be at the beginning or end of the text. Have you a solution for this?
    If you click your mouse at a place in the text, I think you will find the insertion point is one character to the right (or something like that), even though the cursor has not moved.
    In my view it is really pointless to try to use iWork (or iWeb) for RTL text, their bugs just make them unsuitable for this purpose. Use apps like Mellel, OpenOffice, Nisus Writer which do not have these problems.
