View PDF Documents in RTL Languages

Right-to-left (RTL) support in a PDF viewer enables the interface and document navigation to align with languages that are read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu. In a PDF context, RTL support typically adjusts the viewer's layout, navigation controls, scrolling behavior, and text interaction to provide a reading experience that matches the conventions of RTL languages. This improves usability, accessibility, and user familiarity for RTL audiences while helping applications deliver a more localized and consistent user experience.

Several JavaScript PDF viewer components include RTL support, such as:

• Wijmo Angular PdfViewer (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) supports right-to-left layouts through its inherited rightToLeft functionality, allowing the viewer to adapt to RTL layouts.
• KendoReact PDF Viewer (part of KendoReact by Telerik) provides built-in RTL support, enabling the viewer interface to render correctly in right-to-left layouts.
• Syncfusion Vue PDF Viewer (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) mirrors the viewer interface and toolbar for supported right-to-left languages.
