Arabic EPUB on Adobe digital Edition

hala_zzz · 08-25-2010, 08:06 AM

ADE dos not support right to left languages, in the beginning it was displaying Arabic letters as questions marks, but using CSS I succeed to display it as characters but unfortunately they are separated from each other, like this :"ع ر ب ي" and I want to fix this problem, any ideas?

Check out if FBReader (FBReader.org) does the job. The software is available for multiple platforms and the programmers are open for bug reports or suggestions.

You can use PDF. Then the letters will connect. That's what I use for my Arabic files.

Sorry I can't understand you, my orginal file is already .pdf but in order to open it on ADE we should convert it to .epub and so the letters are separated

At the risk of me seeming dense, if the original file is in PDF, why not use a pdf viewer ?

If you are determined to change format to epub, have you tried another viewer ?

Calibre, epubreader, lucidor, stanza desktop, ubook, zulureader ?

If the goal is to use ADE, it supports both PDF and ePubs, so no conversion needs (or should be done).

@hala_zzz, how'd you get it to do that? I'm still at the ???? stage. And where is this workshop forum? The reason for wanting to view it in epub form, is b/c in PDF it pulls up the full page, which you can't zoom in or anything, so the characters come up way too small to be readible.
