Unicode Bangla is the path; Bijoy ANSI is not
Modern PDFs and Avro-typed text use Unicode. We keep that text editable in Word and embed Kalpurush so glyphs render even if the PC lacks Bangla fonts. Legacy Bijoy/ANSI encodings are a different problem — retype or convert those to Unicode first.
Digital Bangla PDF
If you can highlight বাংলা in a viewer, the free digital path extracts it. The DOCX tags bn-BD and embeds Kalpurush for complex script. Switch to SolaimanLipi or Nikosh in Word if that is your house style.
Scanned Bangla pages
Image-only PDFs run Tesseract English+Bengali on our dedicated workers (Pro). Clean 300 DPI typed pages beat phone photos. Proof names, amounts, and clause numbers — OCR invents plausible wrong letters.
Fonts we ship for
Kalpurush (embedded in Bangla DOCX), SolaimanLipi, Nikosh, and Siyam Rupali installed on conversion workers alongside Noto Sans Bengali. We do not ship ANSI Bijoy faces for body text.
