    Hi,

    You added Hebrew to your OCR languages. Great!

    When one opens the OCRed file in your (PDF24) reader the language is indeed right to left and can be copied (and pasted).

    However, when one opens the OCRed file in Adobe Acrobat Reader - the language while displayed correctly is actually mirrored and cannot be copied without flipping it (somehow).

    Can you suggest a solution to this issue (other than to use your reader rather than any other reader)?

    Many thanks,

    YL

    Hello,

    thank you for the report. The invisible text layer that OCR adds stored words of right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic in an order that made copying and searching return each word backwards.

    This is fixed. The online OCR already writes the text in the correct order: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/ocr-pdf. In PDF24 Creator the fix will come with the next version. Files that were already recognized keep the old text layer; run OCR on them again with the new version.
