Help on Font ?
http://discussworldissues.com/forums...lies/salam.gif
Does anyone know what Arabic fonts are used in Arabic Tutor Books ? as when Copy/Pasted in text editors or converted with Adobe Pro , the Arabic turns out numbers and unusual characters . I have Arabic fonts installed and so can manual type but it fails when ever I copy/paste from the PDF file . http://discussworldissues.com/forums...lies/jazak.gif |

If I am not mistaken, the font used in Arabic Tutor is "Traditional Arabic." The font is free and available online. Click here to download it. |

What you describe in your initial post is not a font problem; it is an encoding problem. The PDF from which you are copying ‘Arabic text’ uses its own custom encoding for non-Roman script characters. والسلام |
So is there any solution to this problem or should I lose Hope ?

I am afraid the custom encoding used for Arabic script in the PDF in question is only understood by PDF apps and PostScript. This allows only to display on screen and print what appears to be Arabic text.
There is software to remap a custom encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) and extract such text from PDFs, but it is quite expensive. The original files from which the PDFs were made are in doc format. The easiest would be to find out if the madrasa which produced the volumes will allow to have access to the original doc files. والسلام |

For text extraction.
PDFlib TET 4: http://www.pdflib.com/products/tet/ For examining in detail the map of custom and other encodings used in a PDF, there is a free plug-in for Acrobat: http://www.pdflib.com/download/free-.../fontreporter/ والسلام |

Even if you find the right fonts you won't be able to extract Arabic text out of it properly no matter how, no matter what software you use. That's because the way most of the Arabic study PDFs are complied makes it impossible to retrieve the Arabic text out of it. The exception is may apply special type PDF outputs where the text is written with a LaTex package. What you can do is, by using a handy software called "foxit PDF editor", copy the text here and there, rescale it without loosing resolution, color it, delete parts and bits and so on; basically foxit pdf editor would treat any arabic text as a Vector (resolution free figure or) object. Hope that helps. |
