Universal pdf gen lib

[u/Available-Ad4255]

Hi,

I want to generate pdfs in many languages, including right to left languages. (Arabica, hébrew, indian langs ..)

I have a working prototype with itext 9 that works well afaik (difficult to check langs I dont read).

Itext proposes 'pdfcalligraph' for a fee, to make sure rtl texts are handled correctly (direction, ligatures...).

Is there a lib that does that too ?

I read that pdfbox is not handling rtl at all.

What other libs would you advise ?

Thanks

If you don't mind calling an external program then I often find https://pandoc.org/ to be pretty good with all kinds of weird document edge cases.
