I have a RTL (right-to-left) pdf document and want to print it in booklet format so that it could be printed double sided and binded as a book. There is simple solutions for LTR (left-to-right) documents, such as pdfbook:

pdfbook inputfile.pdf

above simple command will create a new pdf file named inputfile-book.pdf that could be printed double sided (duples printed "Long edge").

Is there a similar solution for right to left documents?

I've got a problem with writing Persian in Ubuntu, the problem is when I try to write mixed Persian and English text files in Gedit or VIM the lines starting with Persian characters start from right direction of the screen and it's hard to follow lines like this .

How can I change Ubuntu so it just starts lines from left?

I have added additional language support and added Persian.

What is the next step? How can I type in Persian in LibreWriter please?

Many Thanks

I've installed MS Office 2007 in Ubuntu 12.04 using Wine 1.4 with no problems, and it works fine with the English Language. However, I need to use it to work with Arabic and Hebrew, and it doesn't work when I switch to a Hebrew or Arabic keyboard. The typing gets reversed.

I saw an earlier post for something similar, but it is closed and I think it was for the earlier Wine 1.3. Supposedly Wine 1.4 has added RTL -- is there a way to get it working?
