You have to be more specific, if you want help.

Which version did you try: latest master-branch or a certain version?

i test the languages but it show the sentense incorrect

Please provide example code (with actual Arabic/Persian language strings) or a PDF, which leads to incorrect output. Be more specific about the term "incorrect". What do you expect and what is the actual output.

I believe there are already issues about this topic. For example, https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/issues/316. Summary: PDFParser is currently not able to parse languages properly, which are read from right to left. @GreyWyvern gave a good overview here: https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/issues/316#issuecomment-1686461583

So my answer to your question is: No, it doesn't support these types of language. Although, is it practical to you if you just reverse the output again to gain the correct order of symbols?
