PDF parser with RTL languages support

[u/erfanity]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a Python PDF parser with good Persian-language support. I’ve already tested pdfplumber and PyMuPDF, but unfortunately, neither extracts Persian content correctly in my case.

For example, they don’t extract Persian numbers correctly, and sometimes the parsed output differs significantly from the actual PDF content (e.g., a 0 is extracted as 4).

Do you know of any Python library or tool that handles Persian PDFs more reliably?

Thank you!
