[JS] [CS4] Right to left text when Placing

Hey.
In CS4 - If I want text to flow right-to-left for an entire story when doing a text file 'Place' what attributes do I need to set?
Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure that you need the style to be set to
the World Ready Composer to get right-to-left text to import correctly.
Other than that, you might want to set the story direction (for multi-
column frames), and paragraph direction as well as an apropriate font,
etc...

How to use math symbols in a right to left text properly?

Hey there
When I write a simple mathematical equation or a number(which has sign) in the middle of a right to left text in a text box(I simply set keyboard language to EN for typing expressions & numbers) it's like mathematical symbols are somehow not considered math symbols and that's weird since in word it's not that way, take the following sentence for example that means result of the 0-127 expression is -127:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- است.
In word I can type it just fine(for typing expressions and numbers I set keyboard language to EN) but when I type it the same way in adobe acrobat I get this:
حاصل عبارت 0-127 برابر -127 است.
copy & paste from word also doesn't do any help, so If I want to get it right I should type math expressions from right to left meaning as instance to type 0-127 I should first type 127 then - and finally 0 also should type digits of a number before typing its sign as example for typing -127 I should first type 127 then - ,now I wonder is it the way acrobat works or I'm doing something wrong.
By the way OMG o_O even when I did copy & paste my messasge from word to the text box of forum for posting, it ended up treating math parts in upper right to left paragraph the same way as acrobat I just had to write them from right to left!
Anyone has any idea?

In a word document I wrote:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- اسـت
Then tried printing it using "Adobe PDF" printer, in output pdf that sentence was written in right order and interestingly it was broken into three text boxes thanks for reply.

Right to Left text

Hey, does anyone know why I can't see a right-to-left text direction button on my InDesign CC?
I'm using the Adobe World-Ready Paragrah Composer.
Thanks!

Well, if you are using Windows, its the CC app in your notification area in the lower-right-hand corner of your screen. You click on that, then on the gear icon in its upper-right-hand corner, then click on Preferences. Then you choose Apps, then there's an Apps Language dropdown.
Sorry, I assume you can log into creative.adobe.com and do it there as well, but I have no idea what the step-by-step instructions are for doing it that way.

Vertical text, right to left text, Japanese documents...

I downloaded the iWork '09 demo and immediately checked to see if I could finally type a Japanese document in the traditional way (lines vertical top to bottom, read right to left).
Am I correct in thinking this is still not possible?
This is the forth version of Pages and it's still impossible to write a document correctly in Japanese. On the Japanese iWork page all the screen shots show English language documents. This alone really says a lot about the quality of this product for non-English documents.

You are correct. Apple even says that this is the case when it lists the system requirements:

I think the only apps that can do vertical text in OS X are MS Word, NeoOffice/OpenOffice, iTextPro/LightwayText, plus Japanese InDesign or QuarkExpress 8.

PDF Maker problem in outlook using right to left text

Hello,
I am using the PDF Maker application in outlook (acrobat 7.0.5 and outlook 2002) which allows the user to convert an email message (or folder with messages) in the outlook to a PDF document.
My question is :
When the document contains languages from right to left (Hebrew), the converting PDF Maker process changes the letters order in the "from", "to" and the "subject" fields to be from left to right . The text in the message itself is in the right direction (right to left).
How can I overcome this issue ?
Thanks
Naomi

My acrobat version 7.0.5 does support ME languages

Vertical Right-to-Left Text?

How can I enter vertical text that reads right-to-left in Pages? This is the traditional way of writing for some languages such as Japanese. This is trivial to do in Microsoft Word. There must be a way to do this in Pages. Can anyone help?

Yes, that is more or less my list as well. Last time I went to Japan, I tried to get hold of a copy of the discontinued Japanese word processor Egword, but failed. I asked one of the shopkeepers in Akihabara if there were no commonly used alternatives to MS Word 2008 for the Mac, and got the unusually clear answer "No".
The Japanese version of MS Word has the advantage over Western versions that it automatically proposes the hiragana when you add ruby text. I do not think that works in any of the Western versions, even if Japanese features are switched on.
In addition the Japanese version contains all (?) the Western dictionaries and proofing tools, like "French Grammar", "Nynorsk Hyphenation" and "German Thesaurus" and all that.
Provided you are able to read the Japanese text in the menus and dialogues, the Japanese version of MS Word is a fairly good investment.
By the way, last time I checked, only the English and Japanese versions of MS Word did vertical text and ruby. The French and German and the other ones do not. I think.

How can I edit an InDesign file that contains right-to-left text (arabic, hebrew...) with InDesign CC?

With previous CS versions, there was a special ME (middle east) version of InDesign that had all the necessary right-to-left functions. Is there a CC ME version, or is there another solution?

So this comes at no extra cost to the CC subscription?
Yes
And can it open older files that were created with Indesign CS5 ME for example?
Yes
Add to that you can also download and install indesign cs6 version

Converting pdf to word messes up right-to-left text

Windows 7 Ultimate
Office 2007
Acrobat 9 Pro
Adobe Reader X
I'm not sure if this problem is with Adobe or Word (or maybe the problem is just more than the sum of its parts!).
I've exported a pdf leaflet in Arabic (text over background graphics), to word 2007 but the Arabic text seems to have been messed up in the process. There are a few bits of English text but they're fine. The (health related info, in case anyone's concerned) leaflet needs to be converted to word to be sent to a translator for editing.
I think this leaflet might have been originally created on InDesign....relevant?
I have installed the latest Arabic language pack to Windows.
Any ideas about what's going on & what I can do about it welcomed!

It was set as ‘Retain Flowing Text’ by default, so I tried it again as ‘Retain Page Layout’ & it seemed to convert the Arabic text as images (like a screenshot?), which defeats the object of it being editable in word. It also lost one section.
I tried again with each of above, but ‘Include Images’ deselected.........
Retain flowing text, include images deselected – “Save As failed to process this doc. No file created”
Retain page layout, include images deselected – ditto
Would it help if I attached the original pdf? Actually, I can't see how to do that here, so if you think it would be useful could you explain how?
Thanks!

Right-to-left text direction missing in Indesign CC 9.2

I'm trying to localize an English file to Arabic. According to some of Adobe help files there should be text direction in the Paragraph menu but I don't see them. The "Reverse Layout" option that is available in InDesign CS5 ME is not available in InDesign CC. How can I reverse the layout in InDesign CC and how can add the text direction buttons. I'm sure they are not there so do I need to download something additional.
Please help!

You need to download and install the English-Hebrew or English-Arabic version. In the CC Desktop App you can click the gear icon and change the language to access them.

CS4 Set default file type when placing file

The File->Place dialog box has a default file type of 'Importable files.' Is it possible to set the default to All files (or anything else)? Making the change manually does not seem to stick. I have the same general question regarding File->Open. A search of the forums returned one hit (unanswered) in the Dreamweaver forum.
Thank you.
Dick Conrad

Peter:
Good question. One of our editors made this request, and I believe that he works with files that lack extensions. But controlling the default would also let us go in the other direction: quickly see only .rtf or .txt files, for example.
Any trick would be impractical if it lived in InDesign Defaults. All ID users get the same copy, and no two editors would want the same filter.
Thanks for your response.

How do I get the bookmarks toolbar's width to autofit to its buttons when placed next to tabs?

FF4: I'd like to be able to put the bookmark toolbar right next to my tabs (not above or below). However, when I do this, the width of the toolbar does not shrink down to fit only the buttons, i.e. the bookmarks toolbar takes up a lot of blank space.
This happens whether placing it on the right or left, or when placing tabs in the bookmarks toolbar.
To ask the question in another way, is there any way to autofit the bookmarks toolbar to its contents when placing next to tabs?

Thanks for the reply.
That's actually exactly what I intend to do. I've tried this both with and without the extension installed. The attached image includes two screenshots: (top) bookmarks toolbar to the left and (bottom) to the right.
When placed to the left, the tabs end up way over to the right and not up against the bookmark toolbar's contents, restricting the amount of space for tabs to fill.
When placed to the right, the bookmark toolbar's contents are not right justified and, again, restricting room for tabs.
Hopefully this clarifies my question.

Premiere Elements 13 - how to write Hebrew from right --- to left?

I can see Hebrew fonts, but I can`t write Hebrew from right to left. Thanks!

I have not been involved in languages for Premiere Elements other than English. What I have been reporting to you relates
to from what I have read.
Your chances for obtaining the right to left text in Photoshop CS6 are likely to be good.
On the video end of things, there was a report of a workaround with text generated in another program and then copy paste
into the Premiere Pro Titler.

I am not sure if that concept could be extended to Premiere Elements and its Titler.

I have an iPad 2 with iworks, in pages and keynote I noticed it cuts the first letter on the right when I open an imported doc or ppt or even paste text from an email. I type in Hebrew (right to left language).

How to solve?pages and keynote cut the first letter when opening an imported file from doc or ppt or even when pasting text to a new pages document.
I write in Hebrew, which is a right to left language.
Never got a warning that this apps do not work In my language. They are available in my country's AppStore and that was the reason I bought the iPad.
Thank you,
Diego

All iWork apps, both for iOS and OS X, have always had bugs that make them unsuitable for RTL scripts for most purposes. The only solution is to use something else.

Making placed Arabic Copy from Word read right to left

Hello!
I am placing a word document into Indeign that is done in Arabic.
When I place it, it reads from left to right (for example, there is a number that starts each paragraph and it shows up on the left, but should be on the right).
Is there a setting that would let the text read from right to left?
thanks
babs

You need one of the following:
Expensive option: InDesign CS4 ME edition or CS5 ME edition
OR
Not-expensive option: InDesign CS4 or CS5 with World Tools installed
OR
Free but barely functional option: InDesign CS4 or CS5 with a script to turn on the World-Ready Composer (which is in CS4 and CS5, but not accessible to normal English-languge installs of ID without a plugin or a script; just search Google for "World-Ready Composer" to learn all about it)
AND
someone literate in Arabic to check your work.
World Tools has all of the numbering/character direction/hanging indent/etc. tools you need, while the scripts to turn on the WRC do not. I am a very happy user of World Tools - it has all of the necessary tools for doing RTL layouts at a very reasonable price point.
Also, I have to point out that my Arabic translation teams have never submitted a translation of a numbered list in English that was still "numbered" in Arabic in Hindi numerals; I've always seen 'em convered to lettered lists. (That is, alef, beh, teh instead of 1, 2, 3.) Stuff like that is why I suggest that you really do need someone to check what you've typeset. Beyond that, if you don't understand my list-advice, you should probably turn over the typesetting of your Arabic who is already an experienced designer/typesetter/formatter/DTPer/whatever in Arabic.
