BUG : Arabic text with ( Tashkeel ) Editing after PDF file is saved add extra spaces
Ok here is the issue,
When I edit PDF file using Arabic text, everything ( to some extent is fine )
But if I just saved the file, then try to edit it again
( i.e. Change font, Change Color, Change size, edit the text it self )
Arabic letters would just go wrong, attached an image showing the issue.
I noticed that this only happen if ( Tashkeel ) is used.
I had the same issue on both Machines : Mac OS & Windows 10.
Also PDF attached with an example,
if you just tried to change the Text color, you would notice the issue.

Editing a PDF with Arabic content results in such a mess. Some times Acrobat will succeed to some extent in editing Arabic content but mostly it fails. It all comes to the font being used and how the PDF was created and from which application it was generated.
Diacritics (Tashkeel) are the tiny marks that goes on top or beneath main Arabic characters. In my test, I was able to add and edit Diacritics in Acrobat without issues with some Arabic fonts such as "Adobe Arabic".
