Most Arabic PDFs look fine until you try to copy the text.

Presentation-form glyphs, reversed table columns, Latin stuck on the wrong side. ArabDoc is a JSON → PDF API that keeps Arabic readable and searchable.

curl -X POST https://api.arabdoc.dev/v1/render \
  -H "X-API-Key: $ARABDOC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"template":"invoice","data":{...},"options":{"numerals":"western","calendar":"dual"}}' \
  -o invoice.pdf

Pricing

Quotas are documents rendered per calendar month (Asia/Riyadh). Free tier: email only, no card. Paid checkout ships with API key issuance (see signup when live).

Limitations (honest)

• No kashida justification Chromium’s PDF path does not support Arabic kashida elongation for justified lines. We keep natural spacing instead of faking stretches.
• Five templates only invoice, contract, certificate, letter, report. No custom template upload yet.
• No DOCX / ZATCA XML signing Out of scope for this phase. JSON → PDF only.
