  • Hi gents,

    We are trying to use the PDF from Single DOCX (with Fonts) Smart Service to cater to the word document's Arabic language.

    Even with different font files, we weren't successful; the Arabic sections only show hash symbols instead of the actual text. We are not sure what the issue is; we are using the font files specified in the template document from Windows and attaching them to the smart service.

    Can you please provide support to check which Arabic font files are supported by the smart service?

    Thanks,

    Jean
