            Bug ID: 114189
           Summary: Order of Hebrew chars in some PDFs reversed by Draw
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.0.0.beta1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz at technion.ac.il

Description:
Many PDFs containing Hebrew text are such that, if you open them in a PDF
viewer, the Hebrew text is displayed with proper directions and orders of
glyphs; and selecting text from the PDF produces raw text in the clipboard in
the correct order, i.e. it's not just some tromp-l'oeil for display purposes -
and yet, if you open that same PDF in LO Draw - the order of the Hebrew glyphs
gets reversed.

In fact, this happens even with PDFs created by LibreOffice itself (e.g.
exported from LO Writer)!



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO writer
2. Set the direction to RTL and the language to Hebrew
3. Write a few words, say, אחת שתיים שלוש ארבע
4. Export a PDF (don't save as PDF)
5. Open the attached PDF file in Draw.


Actual Results:  
The text you see is: עברא שולש םייתש תחא

Expected Results:
The text you should see is: אחת שתיים שלוש ארבע


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Same thing happens with Arabic. Type: واحد اثنين ثلاثة أربعة in the ODT file.
