[PDF Helper] Read Arabic text from pdf with PDF Helper
pdf-helper
Service icon
Forge component by Pramod Jain
Application Type
Traditional Web

Hi everyone!
I have tried some forge components to extract/read text from a PDF, and the component that worked better for me was the PDF Helper!
With that, I have tried to extract text from a PDF in some languages and it worked fine, but there is one problem, it doesn't work properly for arabic text. 

Have any of you ever been through this?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Carlos

Hi Prince Aadil Khan Panwar!
Thanks for your fast reply!
I have a question: Your solution only works for URL in input parameter, right ?

Best regards,
Carlos

Hi Carlos

yes, this works with url only.

Prince

Hi Prince!
Thank you for your help, but I really need this to work with a binary PDF file. 

Best regars,
Carlos 

Hi Carlos Mendes

one thing you can do. after generating pdf. you can save the name of the binary file into the binary file output and save or anything you can do. instead of dowloading it directly. hope it helps.

thanks 

Prince

You can definitely take help of Google Translate Forge Component.

Can you share one sample document in Arabic, so we can replicate it on our side and see what can be done?

Cheers,
Miguel

Hi Miguel Antunes!
Try this one attached, please.
But I also found some difficulties with documents that have dates and numbers in the middle of the text, as the numbers are duplicating.

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Carlos
