PdfSharpWithHebrewSupport

PdfSharpWithHebrewSupport is a small, backwards-compatible customization of PDFsharp that adds a simple Hebrew‑script (RTL) preprocessing step before text is drawn or measured. It reorders RTL runs for Hebrew-script characters so Hebrew/Yiddish text renders in natural visual order without full shaping engines.

Version: 6.2.3-hebrew1
Targets: net8.0, net9.0, net10.0, netstandard2.0
License: MIT (based on PDFsharp)

Features

  • Preprocesses text passed to PDFsharp to reverse RTL runs for characters in:
    • Hebrew block (U+0590..U+05FF)
    • Hebrew presentation forms (U+FB1D..U+FB4F)
  • Minimal change: uses the existing PDFsharp render pipeline and keeps API compatibility.
  • Includes unit tests that verify mixed LTR/RTL run reordering.

Why use this

PDFsharp does not include a full Unicode BiDi + shaping engine. For Hebrew and other Hebrew‑script languages, a simple run reordering is often enough. This package provides that preprocessing without adding heavy dependencies.

Install

dotnet CLI:

dotnet add package PdfSharpWithHebrewSupport --version 6.2.3-hebrew1

PackageReference:

<PackageReference Include="PdfSharpWithHebrewSupport" Version="6.2.3-hebrew1" />

Usage

Install the package and use PDFsharp as usual. The package hooks into the render pipeline and reorders RTL runs before text is measured or drawn.

Example — inspect preprocessed text:

var renderEvents = new PdfSharp.Events.RenderEvents();
renderEvents.PrepareTextEvent += (s, e) =>
{
    // e.Text has had Hebrew-script RTL runs reordered already
    Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
};

If you need custom behavior, you can still subscribe to PrepareTextEvent and modify e.Text.

Limitations

  • This is a heuristic limited to Hebrew-script characters. It does NOT:
    • Implement the full Unicode BiDi algorithm for every edge case.
    • Provide contextual glyph shaping (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Syriac, N’Ko, Adlam, etc.)
  • For Arabic-family or other joining scripts you must use a shaping engine (e.g., HarfBuzz) and feed shaped glyphs into the renderer.

Changelog (high level)

  • 6.2.3-hebrew1: Added Hebrew-script RTL preprocessing and unit tests to reorder RTL runs prior to rendering.
