Simply incompetence of Adobe team handling Acrobat.
Arabic OCR means OCR for Urdu, Persian, Punjabi and so many other languages automatically.
What should I say? It will be inappropriate. -

It's nearly two years since the first request was posted ...
It's nine months since you promised to update us when (if?) it is prioritised ...
It's a standard feature in Google translate ...So what's the story Adobe? Complacency, unwillingness or incompetence?

Several of the 42 OCR enabled languages have smaller user communities than the Arabic users. I really believe there must be an intentional decision from Acrobat's management not to enable the Arabic OCR. This matter has been ongoing since 2017 (refer to the first comment in the below series) and we still receive the same cliche reply '...we will update once the team prioritize it...). I wonder what was was the basis of the 'team's' decision to prioritize and implement the Hebrew OCR which users are manifolds smaller than Arabic (based on 9 million Hebrew speakers in the world versus 420 million Arabic speakers) and left the Arabic OCR hanging and 'under review' to this date...
Once and for all Acrobat should come out in the open and finally say it that they do not care to listen or serve the Arabic users.
