Microsoft Edge pdf Adding text with arabic letters disappear
- Hey there, I'm back with an update! Arabic is not currently a supported language in the Add Text feature (sorry for not catching that before asking a bunch of extra questions!)
The team is looking to increase the language support for Add Text and I made sure they knew we have an interest here for Arabic, but no current updates on when the supported languages might change. Sorry I don't have an immediate fix for this!
Hey there DuongNgo! Can you provide some example text and confirm what's happening when you add the text to a PDF? Also, what version of Edge are you currently using? Using sample Vietnamese characters I was able to add them as text to a PDF without issue and they rendered as expected.
Alexandra-R Thank you for your response! This is my Edge version: Version 96.0.1054.53 (Official build) (64-bit).
These are two pictures that show my input and its result. The "Đ" and "ấ" when missing after I clicked outside of the text box. When I clicked the text box again, the words went back to normal.
I am from Vietnamese and I also have same problem with DuongNgo. Please help me.

Alexandra-R same thing happens with Croatian characters ć and č. Edge version 98.0.1108.56 (64-bit)
- Same issue with the Cryllic alphabet in Russian. It's awesome that they support languages like Gaelic and Welsh, but I wish they would support world languages like Arabic or Russian. There's no need to reply, as I understand the issue now, but I wanted to report the problem.
- Thanks for confirming this and sorry for the delayed response! I'm checking in with the PDF team to see if this is a known issue, but I'm able to reproduce this on my machine as well. I'll circle back if I need any additional info here!
