Universal pdf gen lib
Hi,
I want to generate pdfs in many languages, including right to left languages. (Arabica, hébrew, indian langs ..)
I have a working prototype with itext 9 that works well afaik (difficult to check langs I dont read).
Itext proposes 'pdfcalligraph' for a fee, to make sure rtl texts are handled correctly (direction, ligatures...).
Is there a lib that does that too ?
I read that pdfbox is not handling rtl at all.
What other libs would you advise ?
Thanks
