PDF editor issues with RTL text

[Yotam Leibovici]

Hi,
It seems there are issues with the PDF editor. This likely occurs mainly when using RTL scripts or when the document mixes RTL and LTR text.
When trying to select a word for annotation, surrounding characters are often included as well, and it's not possible to accurately select specific characters.

Thanks

That is possible. I don't think the PDF editor so far has any specific RTL support.
It probably won't be easy to add such support either.

If you want to help, please open an issue in the issue tracker and attach a problematic PDF file as an example.
