Hello,
I was looking around and found some software that count words but when it comes to Hebrew there is a little challenge.
I would like to have your input.
Thanks
Ruth

What makes Hebrew different in this regard? Spaces and dashes are still there as usual.

AnyCount 7 does it well Jan 4, 2010

I'm using AnyCount 7 (as part of Translation Office 3000), and it does the counting of Hebrew PDF words well.
Of course, the quality of counting (if at all) may depend on the file preparation method/source.

I strongly recommend that tool!
