Hi Ali, Well you do have to tweak a few settings (mainly the layout) select your languages then it should do it fairly accurately. I recently ran a non-Unicode Greek PDF document through it, and I'd say it was 99.9 % accurate. If you like send me the document and I'll play around with it. Incidentally, what do people use in the way of Arabic Synthesizers? I've yet to find one!

You can download a free trial, or alternatively contact me off-list and I'll do it for you. I'd actually be quite interested to see how it would work out, since Arabic isn't a language I've worked with thus far, but possibly will in the future!
