Converting arabic Books
hi Guys,
I want to convert an arbic Book from PDF into AZW3 using Calibre. As you know,arabic is written from right to left. After converting,its then from left to right.
I used the different Sign encodings,nothing works.
Any help please?

I suspect this is another problem related to
Sticky: Read this before Posting PDF Questions

...

And calibre's manual has this to say, at the PDF warning: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conv...-pdf-documents
Quote:
Some limitations of PDF input are:
  • PDFs that are used to display complex text, like right to left languages and math typesetting will not convert correctly
There is probably commercial software out there that can recognize RTL language glyphs and flip the string around.

Compact disk is just a storage medium.

You need a reading program (viewer) on your computer that matches the E-Book format you purchased. eg EPUB, Mobi, PDF

The URL you gave will not show me any e-books. this might be a region rights issue)

Maybe not that, can't see any from here (part of UK region), nor through Berkshire UK Proxy

@Abdul wahid - what is the format, and where do you want to read it?

If its a PDF, and you want to read it on your desk/laptop then install a PDF Reader for your operating system - Google for "PDF reader for <your operating system>"

Sami19 said he has a PDF. Abdul wahid simply said he bought a book, possibly a paper book.

@Abdul wahid - is this a paper book, or an e-book?
