Adobe Reader 9 didn't print the entire doc to a pdf, so I need to figure
out that as well. However, in looking through the fonts in the original
pdf, I see no unusual fonts or even any arabic specific fonts. Also
tested in Okular & that doesn't render the arabic on page 7 etc.

Perhaps some of the sabiliy folks can help you (check their forums), as
they may have come across this issue as well.
