Arabic script with Fill & Sign
This topic has been discussed before, but I want to share one thing the team might find useful.
Now we tell all Acrobat users that Adobe Fill and Sign doesn't support Arabic. But when you look at it, we are able to type Arabic very well on Desktop machines and mobile devices.
On a Mac for instance, as an Adobe CC subscriber, I have to choose English in Preferences for my Acrobat language in order to show [ Fill & Sign, Send and Track, and Send for Signature ] features in Tools workspace. If I go and change Acrobat language to Arabic, or English with Arabic Support above three features will not be displayed any longer. Here is a discussion on Adobe Forums https://forums.adobe.com/message/7575939#7575939
I cannot test Arabic with Adobe Fill and Sign with Acrobat Language changed to Arabic in Preferences to see if it handles Arabic fully. I bet Acrobat team can do this for us.
To shed light on this issue… as long as I'm within the Fill & Sign environment, I'm able to type and view Arabic that I typed as expected, it is once I leave Fill &Sign environment that Arabic words get fragmented and all characters get disjointed. So could this be to the fact that we must change the Language of Acrobat itself to Arabic so that Fill & Sign to function well? This I cannot verify and test due to he reason I mentioned above that some features will disappear from Acrobat upon selecting Arabic for language.

This is an issue or bug that needs to be fixed, not a feature to be added. As paying customers, we expect things to work correctly. Ignoring the Arabic language—for reasons unknown—does not justify neglecting it for over 300 million people around the globe.

I am having real hard time when writing a fill and sign PDF in Arabic!!
I either change it into word and then re-change into PDF or some websites although I also have hard time.
It was really strange to me that we are in 2024 and large proportion of Acrobat clients are Arabic users, nonetheless we still face trouble. I have my words written separately which not professional or the correct Arabic format!! -

I am sure RTL issues within adobe is always addressed to solve issue for the language that was dead and revived for a terrorist group of people to speak with "Hebrew: The official language for terrorists" but for Arabic Adobe just doesn't care.. -

If you don't want to solve a problem here since 2018, why did you create a Feature Request / Bug Report section?

It really isn't that difficult to support Arabic script with Fill and Sign, as it is clearly supported with other features. Unless there is some other reason (cough cough racism cough cough) that is preventing the Adobe team from working on this issue? I'm sure there isn't, because it would be very bad for Adobe if all of us who use Arabic script took to social media about the glaring lack of concern for this issue over the years.

Wow Adobe. Really. It's 2023, this should've been integrated back in 2010! This is crazy how you can't add such a simple feature to join the words like every other word processor does in the world.
