Created attachment 68861 find bidirectional text
a small workaround for searching rtl text. limited for mixed directional text. say ABC 123 will render by fribidi as 123 ABC. to search for this text in poppler, you'd need to search literally 123 CBA before this patch. with this patch, search for ABC 123 as entered. nice. but if you only search for ABC 12, nothing would be found. that's because this patch transforms the searched text from logical to visual before the actual search in the visual text inside poppler, so ABC 12 would render to 12 CBA, that's not there. there's a better way to go, which i'll implement later. this would also help with bidi text select and copy. this patch will only work if you first apply my last patch to bug 55977. you also need fribidi or preferably icu. please enjoy. alex -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127732 Title: Searching Hebrew text works in reverse order Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hi, There is problem searching Hebrew text in pdf files in evince. The text I write in the find box is being found in reverse (perhaps in visual order), and not in the right order of characters. The searching works in Adobe Acrobat, so I'm guessing its not a problem in the pdf file itself. I'll attach an example pdf. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached pdf. 2. Search for the word "ידיעון" (The letter "י" is the first in logical order). The text is not found in the file. 2. Search for the reversed word "ןועידי". (The letter "ן" is first in logical order). The text is found in reverse in the file.
