This page is for users to upload items to the library archive

When you upload a pdf document on Sabīl, and as soon as metadata is complete, the site automatically recognizes the text in it, thus making it available for in-text search on the website as well as within the document itself. The treated documents are also available for download. The quality of the extracted text depends on the quality of the original PDF file uploaded; in general, the text recognition service for arabic language is unfortunately rudimentary, it is also optimized for contemporary types. The OCR engine used is Tesseract.

Please note the file-naming instructions below. Please upload PDF/A formatted files.   

For optimal experience with the generated PDF files after download, we recommend viewing them in Chrome browser.

Sabil is an educational non-profit platform that hosts users' documents. If a document hosted on Sabil infringes on your copyright please contact us at info@sabil.me or info@maktabatsabil.com and we will handle the issue promptly.

    2. The number of letters denotes the number of digits in a field.
