Probelms with ARAB text in INDESIGN

hi, i'm using indesign to create a document that contains both ARAB words and english words. I've copied the texts form a word file and paste in INDESIGN.
but the program does not maintain the right sequence of the ENGLISH word and does not allow me to move them in the right position. I have also the sdame problem with the dot at the end of the sentence. while I want the dot on the left at the end of the sentence the program put it on the right and there is no way to move in the right position
someone knows what can I do? I'm using CS6
thanks
roberto

I think you have to use Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6.
Take a look here:

Arabic text in indesign

Hi
I have indesign cs6 version 8.0.2. I would like to know how I can have a document that has arabic and english text. As when i copy and paste my arabic text into a text window, with the correct font selected (adobe arabic), it does not work. Do I need to download a specific plug in? do I need the Middle east version of Indesign?
Please can someone help. Its for a brochure that is in arabic and english in teh same file.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Please select all the Arabic text in InDesign and either go to Paragraph Palette flyout menu or Control panel fly out menu. You'll find a host of composers. Please select Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer instead of Adobe Paragraph Composer. And your Arabic texts will work.
You don't need to download a specific plug in. Ideally, You should need Middle east version of InDesign to get other design related ME features.
Thanks,
Irfan

Problems with pasting arabic text into indesign

HI,
I am trying to cut and paste arabic text from Word 2007 to indesign ( ENGLISH) CS4
this is the text from word
This is the text when i paste it into indesign
They look completely different!
No clue why
I have installed the arabic keyboard onto the computer
I have installed the arabic font from adobe
I have installed the script to switch text from left to right --right to left (I found that script here
http://indesignsecrets.com/free-script-for-hebrew-or-arabic-text-in-regular-version-of-ind esign.php)
but I am getting the same problem
any suggestions!!
thanks

Pre-CS4 I would either change the glyph order and the individual glyphs by hand -- for *extremely* short string only --, or simply print the original file (which is usually Word) to a PDF and place that as an image.
Jongware's method is the best easy way to achieve this (placing the PDF file, I mean - manually hunting for medial glyphs is something I'd only suggest for those who have some demonstrated familiarity with the script in question). If your client insists that you not use a placed PDF for complex-script languages ("The Arabic is a picture, and I can't change the color of the text! Please send me something editable.") and you have no ME tools, you can open up that PDF, save out an EPS file, and in the "Settings" button in Acrobat you can find the "convert all fonts to outlines," save, open up the EPS in AI, copy the handily outlined AR text, and paste that into InDesign. It doesn't work perfectly, but it will do in a pinch.

Problem with black text in InDesign CS5

Hi,
I just got an information from my printer that there is a probem with some text in a PDF files which I've sent to them: they appear in 4 colors. I've exported the file with rich blacsk, for printing (best quality print). Any idea why this might have happened?
Thanks in advance

need more information about the file and how the PDF was made.
is the text that the printer is concerned with:
* text composed in the indesign file; or
* text within an advertisement or graphic made by yourself or a third party?
prior to making the PDF, did the OP check the separations using the separations panel and see four colour blacks, or did the black appear fine?
how was the PDF made? using a default setting (listed in square brackets within the PDF options) or a customised setting made by the OP? what happens when using a different setting, such as [PDFX3 2002] ?
the only way that i can get [black] text from indesign to fault like the OP says is to export the PDF using the [Smallest File Size] setting which would turn the entire job RGB... and create other prepress headaches which the printer would complain about first.
however, if the type was DELIBERATELY made rich black in indesign (e.g. process colours in addition to black to make the black) then i can see why the printer would complain. IMHO I will use rich blacks in solid fills which appear over pictures so that the pictures beneath do not show through and to show a "richer than normal" black... but I WOULD NOT use it on black type under 60pt in size, moreso if the type is thin. Doing so makes it harder to register the colours on-press and isn't normally necessary on body type.

Trouble exporting pdf with Arabic text to .doc file

I am having an issue exporting a pdf from the trial of Acrobat Pro XI on a Windows 7 computer.
The pdf has a table with English fields in the left column and Arabic equivalents in the right column.
It appears to display fine within Acrobat, so I assume it has fonts embedded and that Acrobat is somehow handling the display of the Arabic font correctly.
I need to export this to .doc or .docx so that I can enter additional data.
When I convert to .doc, the English column and fields convert pretty good, but the Arabic fields do not display well at all. I am not sure if this is some sort of trouble with Word (or the Windows OS) requiring an Arabic font or Arabic text support to be installed on the system or if there is some other issue (such as Acrobat not handling the conversion well)??.
I did note that there is an Arabic Font add on to Acrobat that can be downloaded from Here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4885&fileID=4558
However, since Acrobat is seeming to properly display the Arabic text, I don't know that this is required...additionally when I tried to install the Arabic font support from that URL, it told me that Acrobat X was require, I am using Acrobat XI reader (installed with the trial version of Acrobat pro that I wish to purchase if I can get this working properly).
Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice offered on this subject.

Unfortunately our conversion engine cannot convert text, such as Arabic, which reads from right to left. It maybe something that we add in the future however it is not available at this time.

I am doing a newsletter which I have an arabic translation of in a word document. When I copy and paste into Illustrator it changes the font (it says times new roman in the word doc, but the illustrator version comes out times new roman but looks completely different ) and the right to left orientation to left to right. How do I fix this?
Make sure your document language is properly set to Arabic in Word. Just typing Arabic and the document actuall being Arabic are two different things. Mismatches affect Unicode ranges, resulting in the wrong characters being copied to the clipboard. In AI, check the substitution options on the text palette and glyph palette as well as your global glyph protection pref.

Identify device fonts compatible with Arabic text

Hi,
Is there anyway to workout what device fonts are available that can render arabic text? I was hoping there would be something like similar to when you specify a font family list and default to _sans but I can't find anything? Does anybody have any solution or alternative method to solve this?
Cheers

There's no programmatic way to do this in ActionScript, and its a bit tricky -- you need to find out which fonts have the correct glyphs and OpenType tables. But, I will say that in the new 10.1 Player (available as public beta), it is much better about fallback, so that if the font you specify doesn't have the correct glyphs, it will look for another font that does and use that instead. So if you were putting up a font menu, it would include all the fonts, but if the user picks one that doesn't work for that script, the text will still appear correctly, just in a different font. I think its a good question though. It would be nice if you could specify a locale, and get back a list of fonts.

Arabic text in indesign CC

soon I'll have to format, in indesign CC, some texts in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. there are some plug in or other that i need to provide?
thanks in advance for any suggestion

While our in-house expert in foreign languages gives you a more substantive answer, you can check http://in-tools.com/products/plugins/. I think you can deal with Russian with ID CC using the Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer and a font with the appropriate glyphs. Arabic and Chinese are a different story.

Copying and pasting Arabic text in InDesign CS4 ME

We have an arabic document in pdf and word formats and we have InDesign CS4 ME and we are trying to copy and paste text from the pdf/word document but the font isn't transferring, there is nothing only boxes. We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either. Working on a mac.
Can anyone help us? What is the solution?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either.
Well, why should it. Unless you are typing Arabic, that won't do anything at all. Copy-and-paste is not typing.
If copy-and-paste does not copy the font along so you get the pinky squares in InDesign, it only means that your default InDesign font does not support those characters. Select your text and then choose another font -- one you are sure of contains Arabic.
If you still get pink squares, it's more likely the text in the PDF is not encoded properly, and in that case no-one can't help you -- but it ought to work directly from Word.

I have a problem with Arabic text

Hi,
I hope that you can help?
I am doing a newsletter which I have an arabic translation of in a word document. When I copy and paste into Illustrator it changes the font (it says times new roman in the word doc, but the illustrator version comes out times new roman but looks completely different ) and the right to left orientation to left to right. How do I fix this? I am using CS4 which I think is the ME version ( it says middle east on the side of the box) I know that the previous designer here managed to do this with the software, so I was hoping that somebody would have the answer?

I'm having difficulty with Thai text in InDesign CC. Any advice please?

I'm informed by Thai speakers that the text is split into 4 lines, each character can have up to 4 elements stacked on top of one another. In InDesign documents the top line won't display correctly, it seems to merge with the mid line. I've tried changing the spacing etc but can't correct the problem. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks so much Ellis home - this worked and has saved me a lot of hassle!

Problem with Arabic text with flash player 10 32bit under linux platforms

Arabic encoding characters do not show correct in the right form at all linux distributions .
note: with windows platforms, it shows arabic characters correctly.
this video contains captions and subtitles, in the attachement two snapshots,
First, show the arabic sentences in the right form with "swfdec mozilla" plugins.
The other, show the arabic words with "adobe flash player 32bit" plugins,
for example: Arabic font enconding cp-1256
the character ب
in the beginning of the word " بـ ".
in the middle " ـبـ "
at the end "ـب"
isolated character "not in word "ب"
the word
كتب in the right form
begin from right with " كـ "
with adobe flash player
ب ت ك
it shows from left to right and use only isolated characters.
I report to adobe and they response
Hi Ghost,
Since you do not have a 64 bit machine please proceed to reinstall the
32 bit edition.
For the current release version of Flash player 10, it does support
Right to left, But you can’t use a text field on stage and have it
work. When authoring the content in Flash cs4, you would have to use
the Flash text engine. more information on that can be found here:

I too am having this problem. On all of my linux distributions, including Ubuntu 8.04, 8.10, knoppix 5,1, fedora 8,9,10 flashplayer 10 is broken in the same way. It reports that it cannot find webcam, and the settings dialog refuses to recognize mouse clicks. I've poked around the web quite a bit and have not yet found a solution. I saw the problem mentioned on an adobe bug reporting site and their response was to close the issue saying it wasn't repeatable on their system. I tried to re-open it and my post was deleted without comment (I may have posted incorrectly or something)
Looking here and elsewhere I see that the problem is very common and I don't see any posted bug-fixes, or even acknowledgement that a bug exists. Has adobe lost interest in being cross-platform compatible?
