Globalize PDF Viewing with RTL Language Support

June 19, 2024
Enhance React PDF viewing apps by providing Right-to-Left support to accommodate languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.

RTL (Right-to-Left) support is the ability to accommodate languages that are read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, Kashmiri, Pashto, Uighur, Sorani Kurdish, or Sindhi. In a PDF viewer, it ensures the proper display and functionality for PDF documents written in such languages. This includes correctly mirroring the user interface elements, adjusting text flow and maintaining proper alignment, positioning of punctuation etc. within the document itself. RTL support preserves the layout and structure of the document whilst making it easily accessible to users who require said languages. This gives PDF viewing applications more global reach as they can be used by a wider user base.

Several React PDF viewer components include RTL support, including:

  • Wijmo PDFViewer (part of Wijmo) by MESCIUS (formerly GrapeCity) offers a feature-rich experience for PDFs, including RTL support for accurate display of right-to-left languages.
  • KendoReact PDF (part of KendoReact) by Telerik facilitates the creation of React applications with built-in RTL support for a globalized PDF viewing experience.
  • Syncfusion PDF Viewer (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) is a lightweight component that offers support for Right-to-Left content for greater accessibility.
