look at the difrence btween the 2 words . in the outocad screen and in pdf sheet . the wright word is the right one near the +.

about the virtual or external pdf dreivers or ploters .. olmust  all the arab fonts get out perfuct. like magek . and there is no proplem  ...where is the proplem ?!!!   a - i dont want them   ' i want to solve it in outocade    b- i cant confeger sheets size esaly in them . i want for example my sheet to be 45 cm * 135cm .   ii couldnt mange  in it .

im getting upset or something      no im calm.

asalaam alaikum @nmzareeb,

I am not sure that I can help on the PDF issue with Arabic fonts as it is a known issue for which I currently don't have an in-AutoCAD solution. FoxIt seems to resolve the PDF printing issues for many.

I know that another Community member was working on his own font file to improve this but I have not yet seen his progress or results.

As far as sheet size, can you share a sample file with me and tell me what parameters you want assigned for successful output? i am happy to take a look at it for you.

Friend, there is no need to repeat over and over again what the problem is: everyone gets it already.

One last time before I move on with my day: I downloaded your ZIP file again, I see no SHX fonts in it as used in your file. Do you not have them either? Yoour etransmit txt file says:



The following files were excluded from the transmittal:
acadlt.fmp
Fonts\simplex.shx
Fonts\txt.shx
Fonts\miryl.shx
Fonts\atir.shx
Fonts\romans.shx
Fonts\arabtype.ttf
Fonts\trado.ttf

I want all of these files please.

[nmzareeb]

thank u all so much for trying to feger it / solve it witj me . my god plus u all. 

i learned some thing new ' how to check my e transment zip file . 

i fixed it , now suposse to be attached with all the font .

i thought today ' thats its cant be !!! that outcade is a very clever and developed programs , and arab font are normaly like all others fonts  so the program must read it .. mabye we think in the wrong direction ... mabye some thing wrong about the destance btween the leters or the multi text or single line . i mean  some thing wrong in the defntion of the text style and not the font . 

than u again ... 

[john.vellek]

HI @nmzareeb,

I agree that this should be simpler. I suspect that the problem stems from the direction of the text being reversed from English.  I have also wondered if a BIGFONT might be a better solution to this issue as well but I have not personally done  much with them.

I did try to fine the free Foxit so I could help set up your sheet sizes but so far I have not found it. If you have a link, please share it with me.

:)))  with ur help .    

[john.vellek]

Hi @nmzareeb,

Yes, there are issues that occur with Hebrew fonts as well.  You are correct thought that the connected letters pose a special condition.

I will try to find the other PDF driver you mention and get it installed in the morning.

I must say, I like your attitude. I can understand your frustration but you are still positive which make it so much easier to try and find solutions.

[pendean]

Thanks for the fonts.

See attached PDF with the driver settings below

[pendean]

... and also tested with two other PDF drivers I have on my Win10 PC, they work fine too

Hi @nmzareeb,

This Is where I think you can add a custom papersize in Foxit.

[john.vellek]

Hi @nmzareeb,

Let's try to get this set up as a PC3 for the Foxit since that is what I have installed on my side.  If you share all the settings for your plot configuration, I can share my PC3 and PMP with you.

[nmzareeb]

dear john . 

for some how the outocade get me out if i try to send vea foxit ... its strange . i uninstal it again .

and i start to get strage wendows about plotters and  drivers ....  what did i did .   

:))))))))))))))))))))))))  poor outocade he know not arabic . 

didnt i say  i dont wana use all these bdf  external drivers. 

[john.vellek]

HI @nmzareeb,

I am sorry you are continuing to have problems with this.  You are correct that AutoCAD does not handle Arabic fonts in the PDF process very well.  This is why the third party drivers are necessary.  I suggest uninstalling all of them except the Foxit as I have read in many Forum posts that it does work. I have also verified that it will let us set your custom page size.  

What kind of error is occurring with AutoCAD LT when you use the Foxit driver?

Assuming you don't have a lot of customization in your AutoCAD LT, you should be able to do a Reset Settings to Default to bring it back to original condition. There is no need to uninstall and reinstall at this time.

Please tell me what your typical plot settings need to be and I can configure a PC3 file for your Foxit installation. If you have any Plot Styles that you use, please zip them up and attach them to a post so I can incorporate them into a page setup for you as well.

I assume you are working in Metric Units.  What are the typical page sizes you use other than the 3x4m one?

Hi @nmzareeb,

I am not sure if Foxit is Free  or if I just got a Trial. You might go back to their website to ask those questions.  I see that Dean has been helping in this thread too. It appears that he tested the PDF driver that is included in Windows 10. It does not appear to allow custom page sizes however.

I went to a developer's application (PDF-Xchange) that I have used for a long time and has always performed well for me.  It is free for non-commercial use and not terribly expensive to buy if you are using this for business.  I installed it, configured a custom 3mx4m sheet and then plotted your file and it looks good to me. Please let me know if this helps.  There might be other PDF writers/drivers available that you could test as well but this one works as promised.
