[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4402) Write RTL text in reversed order

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4402?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16714371#comment-16714371 ] 

Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4402:
-----------------------------------------

PDFBox doesn't support RTL text. At this time all you can do is to reverse the string and use that one. Does that work or does it look weird?

> I use PDPageContentStream.showText() to write string to PDF.  It doesn't work for RTL text, for example Hebrew, all text are written in reversed order.  See attached example screenshot.
