Cannot find text with Hebrew regex

Hi Team!

There is an issue when searching for Hebrew text in PDF with regex. I have a C# Regex object with a Hebrew pattern and when I use the TextFragmentAbsorber it doesn’t find anything but the attached pdf file contains the text that should be matched.

When I extract the Page text with the TextAbsorber the searched word contains some spaces in the output text and I don’t know why.

Pdf file: test-dlp.pdf (46.4 KB)

Regex pattern: סודי

Sample Project: sample-project.zip (2.0 KB)

Aspose.PDF: 24.1.0

If I change the pattern (reverse and add spaces) then there is a match. Edited pattern: י ס וד

What is the reason the original pattern doesn’t match and why there are extra spaces in the extracted text?

We’ve investigated the issue and found that it requires significant changes to several components related to right-to-left text handling. We’ll continue to investigate and track the issue internally, but a fix won’t be available anytime soon as we’re prioritizing paid support and can’t provide an ETA.
