RTL issues

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I did some tests with saving uploaded Hebrew Word (.doc) documents and saving them as: tiff, html, docx, pdf.

These are my findings:

docx - OK
HTML - OK (just had to add a css direction attribute on the body)
PDF - Bad, text is LTR. So instead of “my car” it would read: “ym rac”.
TIFF - Almost good, only the text is left aligned.

What is the status of RTL support in PDF?

And how would i be able to set the alignment in the TIFF?

Thanks,
Gidon

Hi

Thanks for your request. Unfortunately, Aspose.Words does not support RTL during Rendering and converting to PDF. Since it is very complex issue, I cannot promise you a fast fix. Current estimate regarding this issue is end of 2009, beginning of 2010.
Best regards.

Thank you for your fast response.

And what about the TIFF issue? Is this part of the PDF issue?

And last but not least: can Aspose.Words add a CSS direction tag to the exported HTML documents if it is RTL?
If not how can I check the orientation of the Word document, in order to add it myself?

Thanks for your inquiry. Rendering is converting to fixed layout formats – Images (including TIFF), PDF etc. And RTL is not yet supported during rendering.

Regarding HTML, “dir” attribute is not yet supported. But you are right you can set it yourself. You can use Bidi property to check the direction of a document:

The same property is available in ParagraphFormat, RowFormat and PageSetup.
