Right-to-Left Text

With GemBox.Presentation, you can work with presentation that contain bidirectional texts. This includes languages that use right-to-left script such as Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hebrew, or Yiddish. Besides read and write support for PPTX and read support for PPT format, GemBox.Presentation supports rendering of bidirectional texts to PDF, XPS, and image file formats.

You can use the ParagraphFormat.RightToLeft property to specify the reading direction of a paragraph.

The following example demonstrates how to convert a presentation with bidirectional text to PDF or other file formats.

        var shape = slide.Content.AddShape(ShapeGeometryType.Rectangle, 2, 2, 8, 4, LengthUnit.Centimeter);

        // Create a new right-to-left paragraph.
        var paragraph = shape.Text.AddParagraph();

        var run = paragraph.AddRun("هذا ثمّة أمّا العالم، أم, السادس مواقعها");
        run.Format.Size = Length.From(28, LengthUnit.Point);
