Support Right to left languages (persian, arabic, ...)

[Gholamalih]

for example when we draw persian string "سلام" it draws "م ا ل س"

Known implementation restriction, see FAQ.

why we didn't use .Net's Graphic class? this class can handle right to left languages.

[ThomasHoevel]

Maybe .NET’s Graphics class can not handle PDF. Feel free to prove me wrong. Is there an easy way to use it for PDF generation?

you can rivers string and pike the right glyph for character you can use AraibcPdfUnicodeGlyphsResharper to help

using PdfSharp.Drawing;
using PdfSharp.Pdf;
using AraibcPdfUnicodeGlyphsResharper;
namespace MigraDocArabic
{
internal class PrintArabicUsingPdfSharp
{
    public PrintArabicUsingPdfSharp(string path)
    {
        PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
        document.Info.Title = "Created with PDFsharp";
        System.Text.Encoding.RegisterProvider(System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
        // Create an empty page
        PdfPage page = document.AddPage();

        // Get an XGraphics object for drawing
        XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);

        // Create a font
        XFont font = new XFont("Arial", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic);
        var xArabicString = "كتابة اللغة  العربية شيئ جميل".ArabicWithFontGlyphsToPfd();
        // Draw the text
        gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height), XStringFormats.Center);
        gfx.DrawString(xArabicString, font, XBrushes.Black, new XRect(50, 50, page.Width, page.Height), XStringFormats.Center);

        // Save the document...
        document.Save(path);

    }
