Hi,


I’m trying to convert DOC/DOCX files with Hebrew text in them to PDF. The resulting PDF file has the some of the hebrew words backwards (i.e. first letter is last, etc). As well as the sentences have the words reversed:

Hi,



I’ve tried the latest version of Aspose Words (14.10) and I’m still see a couple of errors in the converted PDF. I’ve attached a screenshot comparison of the original DOC/DOCX file open in MS Word and the resulting PDF open in Adobe Reader. The issues happen for both the DOC and DOCX file.
