Arabic

To process invoices that are written in the Arabic language, use the following settings.

When a document in Arabic is scanned into Kofax AP Agility using the Scan activity, select the AR language. This ensures that a recognition engine that is customized for the Arabic language is used for extraction

Next, ensure that the organization that generates Arabic invoices is configured as follows:

  • In the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Extraction Settings, ensure that you add "AR" for Arabic to the Languages setting.

Lastly, select the Ignore Text PDF Layer setting on the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global Settings > General Settings.

It is important to select the option to ignore the PDF text layer because the built-in text layer does not contain any information about the right-to-left orientation of the Arabic language. When the text layer is ignored, the recognition engine is able to generate its own extraction results that honor the Arabic language direction.
