Have your ManageEngine administrator check the info in this https://www.manageengine.com/products/ad-manager/help/introduction/release_notes.html It talks about a new release of AdManagerPlus that supports Arabic. If this is not applicable you must contact ManageEngine support, this is nohing to do with Adobe products or services.

It sounds like you need to look for a setting in ManageEngine that chooses to embed font information into the pdf file. If you go to file>Properties>Fonts, what does it say next to the arabic character? If it doesn't say "Embedded" or "Embedded subset", that is more than likely the issue.
