Hi, I'm trying to export right-to-left string into PDF using your export component (Documents.Report). I'm adding a text field with text like 'abc 123' and the output appear as 'abc 321', while the abc part if in a right-to-left language (Hebrew). Is there a solution for this issue? does the PDF exporter supports rtl languages?
the code is very simple, something like band.AddText(), and text.AddContent(...)
Hi,
The Documents engine does not have full support for RightToLeft languages. There are certain cases that will not work, but they involve multi-byte characters and I don't think that's the case here.
What version of NetAdvantage are you using? What you describe here looks like a problem that was fixed a long time ago.
I'm using 2081 version (2012q1).
when was this issue resolved?
My apologies for the confusion. I looked into this some more and the fix I was thinking of is not related to Right-To-Left. It had to do with unicode characters in certain languages where multiple characters combine into a single character in the document and these were not being combined correctly and came out in reverse.
Right-To-Left is not currently supported by the Infragistics Winforms control or the documents engine.
bad news.
any plan to solve this?
maybe the documents component used in WPF has this support, or any other solution you may offer?
Unfortunately, there are no currently-announced plans to support this. The WPF engine is the same one used by Windows Forms, so I don't believe that it's capabilities are any different.
Ok, bad news, but thanks anyway!
Hello Eli,
I've submitted a Product Idea to our product development team on your behalf for this functionality. I've created a support case (CAS-114702-Q5G4N1) and provided more details through the case.
As far as I know, nothing regarding Right-To-Left has changed as far as the Documentts (pdf/xps) engine is concerned.
Hi, any news on this issue? I could not find this product-idea anywhere, maybe I'm missing something...
Do you have better right-to-left support today?
