Convert arabic"unicode" content html or xml to pdf using itextsharp
You need to use container elements which support RunDirection, such as ColumnText or PdfPCell and then set their element.RunDirection = PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL
List<IElement> list = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(resultCache), ST);
doc.Open();
//Use a table so that we can set the text direction
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
//Ensure that wrapping is on, otherwise Right to Left text will not display
table.DefaultCell.NoWrap = false;
table.RunDirection = PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL;
//Loop through each element, don't bother wrapping in P tags
foreach (var element in list)
{
//Create a cell and add text to it
PdfPCell text = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(element, font));
//Ensure that wrapping is on, otherwise Right to Left text will not display
text.NoWrap = false;
//Add the cell to the table
table.AddCell(text);
}
//Add the table to the document
document.Add(table);
doc.Close();
pdfWriter.Close();
