Trouble exporting pdf with Arabic text to .doc file

I am having an issue exporting a pdf from the trial of Acrobat Pro XI on a Windows 7 computer.

 

The pdf has a table with English fields in the left column and Arabic equivalents in the right column.

It appears to display fine within Acrobat, so I assume it has fonts embedded and that Acrobat is somehow handling the display of the Arabic font correctly.

 

I need to export this to .doc or .docx so that I can enter additional data.

 

When I convert to .doc, the English column and fields convert pretty good, but the Arabic fields do not display well at all. I am not sure if this is some sort of trouble with Word (or the Windows OS) requiring an Arabic font or Arabic text support to be installed on the system or if there is some other issue (such as Acrobat not handling the conversion well)??.

 

I did note that there is an Arabic Font add on to Acrobat that can be downloaded from Here:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4885&fileID= 4558

However, since Acrobat is seeming to properly display the Arabic text, I don't know that this is required...additionally when I tried to install the Arabic font support from that URL, it told me that Acrobat X was require, I am using Acrobat XI reader (installed with the trial version of Acrobat pro that I wish to purchase if I can get this working properly).

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice offered on this subject.
