Hello,

I am using Adobe Reader DC. For OCR, I cannot find the Arabic language (see attached image)


Also, when I copy and paste, some incomprehensible characters appear (see attached image)


I have installed the Arabic fonts in (C\windows\fonts) and also installed Arabic font for this software. NOTHING has changed

Your advice

I believe it depends on the reading direction of the language..

Chinese works with OCR provided it is printed in a Western style..

We should try with a version of Acrobat for the Arabic language.

Hello,

I have installed it properly, and the same problem persists. In fact, how can I add languages in the ROC settings of Adobe Reader DC 2015????

Thank you

You cannot add libraries..

These are included in the version of Acrobat you have.. If you purchased a version for "Middle-East and North Africa" of Acrobat, you should have the Arabic language included (Source Adobe).

This is for Acrobat "pro"..

In the "reader" version, it may not be possible. However, try to see if you are in Tunisia, if it is possible to download the version from the US servers destined for North Africa or the Middle East.

Exactly.. The "Pro" version is not free.. but the "Reader" version is..

Use the Middle-East version of Acrobat Reader... and see if the Arabic language is included.

In Acrobat Reader, menu "File/Properties", then tab "Fonts".

But if it's a scan, it's an image and there is no font...
