Hi,
I Hope you can help me with this issue.
When I publish the project as PDF (Arabic text), it gives me strange text (in screen-shot 2)and gives me an error (in screen-shot 1).
Earlier, I didn't have this issue.
Is there a solution I can apply ASAP?
Thank you,
Shaimaa

Re: Problem with Arabic PDF output
Right-to-left languages like Hebrew, Farsi and Arabic are only supported in WebHelp and CHM and only with the standard templates, not with add-on skins. They are not supported in PDF . Sorry about that, but it is not possible with the current PDF engine.

Re: Problem with Arabic PDF output
Hi Noha,
Help+Manual 8 outputs Arabic as glyphs (little graphics instead of text). The text is not searchable or selectable, and the files are very large, but it looks OK. You can test this with the free trial version that you can download here:
https://www.helpandmanual.com/downloads.html
It will run in free trial mode automatically if you don't register.
