    Well Abdulmajeed, Adobe Acrobat doesn't support backward conversion of a PDF with Arabic content very well yet, apparently it depends on how was the PDF generated in first place and which application that generated it.

    In my testing, we found the following, if you have latest Microsoft Office installed on your Windows platform (Not Mac), you may then open MS. Word, then open your PDF document with the Arabic content straight into MS. Word. We found out that this conversion will mostly give a more success rate than that in Acrobat itself.

    We want Adobe to fix this issue, hence you may vote to have Adobe Acrobat team consider fixing this issue in this feature request portal.
