Wallpaper could be fixed to use tikz or a subset of tikz which offers to put things at absolute positions regarding the page and in the background. But maybe this is cannons at flies? (Or what is the correct saying in English?)

    Hi

    I have just done that. I only needed to change the horizontal
    co-ordinate of \put command as previously mentioned and it works as
    one would expect in RTL. I have changed the horizontal co-ordinate
    of \put from 0pt to -(\paperwidth-\textwidth).

        Thanks Vafa for the clarification. If you can guide me what the
        the recommended way to deal with pictures especially water mark
        in RTL document since wallpaper does not work as expected. I am
        working in a document for children that includes hundreds
        pictures and I am using wallpaper & eso-pic packages heavily.
        Now I can return to ubuntu 12.04' packages but I will face the
        problem soon or later.

            This has nothing to do with eso-pic-bidi file. In the
            previous versions of bidi package, the behaviour of picture
            environment was changes so that in RTL, still the reference
            point was at the right (where the line starts in RTL) but
            commands like \put behaved the same in LTR and RTL. i.e. if
            you gave a positive horizontal coordinate to \put, t would
            go to the right and if you gave a negative horizontal
            coordinate, it would go to the left.

            Later on, we found that it was more problematic rather than
            being useful. Therefore I removed that modification to
            picture environment.


            Your example, will work fine in RTL, if you just change the
            horizontal coordinate of \put in your document. On the other
            hand, \RTL and \LTR are not commands; RTL and LTR are
            environments.
