Why do you need the mPDF add-on?

The PDF converter library that we use (dompdf) in WooCommerce PDF Invoice, Packings Slips, Delivery Notes & Shipping Labels plugin provides only partial support for RTL. In addition to this, Hebrew and Arabic characters are not supported by the font (Open Sans) that is used in the pre-defined templates.

To overcome this, the mPDF add-on provisions another library (in addition to dompdf) to support RTL and also includes fonts that support Hebrew and Arabic (and almost any character set) to the PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, Delivery Notes & Shipping Label plugin.

The mPDF add-on can also be used with the WebToffee WooCommerce Gift Cards plugin to create gift cards in RTL languages.
