[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-5023) OpenType Layout tables used in font ArabicTransparent-ARABIC are not implemented in PDFBox and will be ignored

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5023?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17236086#comment-17236086 ] 

Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-5023:
----------------------------------------

[~richardazar] at this point in time most language specific layout tables are not implemented and ignored. There was a code contribution to handle Bengali. Implementing such feature would also need some knowledge about the specifics of the language to ensure that the code works as expected. Of course you are welcome to help with that feature. Other than that it would need someone else to pick that up.

 

If you are looking to generate PDFs Apache fop might be worth looking into as AFAIK fop supports Arabic.
