Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 113365
RTL PDF document opened with text backwards
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:40:43 UTC
The attached document was created in OOo Writer 3.x with the PDF Export plugin installed, I do not remember if the Hybrid option was enabled or not when exporting. When opening in "soffice" on Kubuntu 9.10 with OOo 3.2, the application that opens is Draw, which indicates that this is not a Hybrid document. When opened in Draw, the text is backwards, that is that the letters are in the revers order in the text. So the text "שלום עולם" appears as "םלוע םולש". The file displays fine if opened in Okular or any other PDF viewer.

Reproducible in OOO330_m1. Reassigned.
Seems like a duplicate of issue #90800
The is indeed a duplicate of issue #90800. It can be closed, as version 1.0.4 of the extension imports Hebrew in the right order. There are still other problems with Hebrew as reported at issue #115184.
OP here, this is indeed a dupe. I don't have permissions to mark it as such, please have an admin do so. Thanks!
