If you want to generate Arabic, or any other character set, then you need to ensure the PDF has the correct font installed.

Thanks Richard. I am using Unicode fonts in PDF. Can u provide steps to install same font on solaris

Sorry, I don't know how to do this, but as far as I am aware the font needs to be inside the PDF file. You will need to do some research on the subject.
