    There are areas in Acrobat that supports Arabic and other areas that doesn't, can you clarify what are you trying to do? Perhaps you're using Fill & Sign which doesn't support Arabic well yet!

    It must be the method of converting to PDF that is not suitable for Arabic. For proper conversion, it is better to have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro that supports Arabic to convert web or document with HTML content.

    Here is a screenshot of a web page from BBC news in Arabic converted to PDF just now with Acrobat Pro.
