  • Are you using the same document in your tests for English and Arabic text? Is the document searchable? I ask this because I did a quick test with a sample pdf and pdfgrep seems to be able to find Arabic characters (specifically, poppler should recognize unicode characters) – r_31415 Jul 15 '22 at 08:52

I won't lie, I don't know enough about the Arabic language and it's implementation in UTF to make an educated guess as to what may be causing this. However, you might want to check this thread out. Hope it helps
