I can't search Persian words. In fact I should search the reserve form of that word to find it . how can I fix this problem by searching the right form of that word ?

example :
if the word is : بلوک
I should search it : کولب
how can i fix this ?

Output of locale:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=fa_IR
LC_TIME=fa_IR
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=fa_IR
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=fa_IR
LC_NAME=fa_IR
LC_ADDRESS=fa_IR
LC_TELEPHONE=fa_IR
LC_MEASUREMENT=fa_IR
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fa_IR

  • Was the PDF document created using UTF-8 encoding? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jan 24 '16 at 12:11
  • try this: open terminal type env LANG="fa_IR" evince &. this will open document reader and then open the document you like (Ctrl + O) and then try searching (dont open document by double clicking it) – Alex Jones Jan 24 '16 at 12:26

This wont solve your problem but will act as better alternative

Document viewer is not a good PDF reader. I recommend installing the best PDF reader available for linux, Foxit Reader.

It's compatible with Farsi.

Download Foxit PDF Reader for linux
