  • How about to add `new Phrase("Arabic Text", Font)` to convert the Arabic Text? You may get some help from [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34529735/9862794). – DasiyTian_1203 Feb 11 '21 at 06:24
  • @DasiyTianMSFT I tried this but this solution is not work for me – salma alalawi Feb 11 '21 at 09:48
  • What the version of your iText? Is it [iText7](https://kb.itextpdf.com/home/it7kb/installation-guidelines/installing-itext-7-for-net) There's an example involving Arabic in the section entitled [Internationalization](https://kb.itextpdf.com/home/it7kb/ebooks/itext-7-converting-html-to-pdf-with-pdfhtml/chapter-6-using-fonts-in-pdfhtml#Chapter6:UsingfontsinpdfHTML-Internationalization) which may give you some help. – DasiyTian_1203 Feb 12 '21 at 07:11
  • @DasiyTianMSFT it is itext5 not 7 – salma alalawi Feb 16 '21 at 07:51

Try adding charset also while parsing

XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, pdfDoc, sr, Encoding.UTF8);

OR

You can also add Font Provider as an argument like in this example Display Unicode characters in converting Html to Pdf
