I am curretly using WF 7.3, and i am not able to genrate PDF reports that include Arabic data stored in SQL DB. It is not displaying the right Arabic characters.
Does anyone of you guys know how to resolve this issue? Does upgrading to WF 7.6 help in this concern?

Thanks in advance.

a little experiment; first, do you know whether your adobe installation can in fact reproduce arabic characaters? can you create a pdf from, say, a word document containing arabic characters?

Thanks susannah,

yes i can convert an word document containing arabic data to a PDF Format. but i guess when converting, it is capturing an image of the word document and inserting it in the PDF file. This is not the case with WF generating PDF reports when its reading the arabic data from a database.
Any advice? are there any patches or additional files i should install/download with exe PDF file and can solve this issue?

Thanks.
