hello there!
my first post on the forum, I come across a nasty probleme whil trying to create a pdf from a wikipedia page:

I go to File--> Create PDF --> From web page, then I choose an arabic page (example adobe entry from wiki http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9_%D8%A3%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%A8%D9%8A )

the result is a missed up, ther's no arabic text, only latin text appears!

I have installed arabic/hebrew language support to windows from regional settings.
hebrew displays good but arabic not.

I use Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.0 on a Windows XP SP3 English.

from some searches on the net i found that i must buy the adobe CS4 Middel east version, and that will be bad to buy two versions of the same product just for one littel thing such as arabic/hebrew .

is there any solution other than this hard choise?

thank you.

Arabic version of Acrobat has supports for capturing Arabic pages. English version will not be able to reasonable job.
