<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">PDF's objective is to reflect the exact
appearance of text. For Hebrew, it means that the text is stored
in visual order. If your PDF viewer accepts user input in logical
order (which is the case in Windows and Linux), it should transform search
arguments (captured from a user dialog) from logical to visual order before
performing the search.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>Hi<br>
<br>
I've exported a PDF from OpenOffice 3.1 (with tags).<br>
I can search for Hebrew text in Evince or Okular, but it searches backwards.<br>
E.g. If I have the words SHIR and RISHON, if I start typing "RI"
it<br>
will match the end of SHIR.<br>
<br>
I have no idea if this is a problem with OpenOffice, Evince/Okular or<br>
just the PDF standard.<br>
Any pointers?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Gadi<br>
<br>
P.S. Maybe someone can save me some more headache.<br>
I see that (finally!) a PDF export won't randomly insert Hindi<br>
characters in ooMath objects.<br>
This was committed to CWS ooo32gsl09 and is targetted for 3.2.<br>
<br>
I also see that 3.2rc2 is based on "OOO320_m9".<br>
<br>
Can I hope that since they both start with "ooo32" and end with
"9" it<br>
will have the fix? :)<br>
<br>
I find the versioning scheme quite complicated.<br>
