Ahlan wa Sahlan ya Asatizat al-Kiram!

Has anyone on this list server been successful in creating Arabic
Acrobat (.PDF) files?  As Dr. Joseph Bell has pointed out, such files
are very useful to share electronic Arabic documents across the
internet.

How do you create the Arabic .PDF file?  I mean, what operating system
(Arabic Windows 95?) do you use, what word processing program (Arabic
MS Word 95?) do you use, and what Adobe product (Distiller? Acrobat
PDF Writer?) do you use to create them?  Are these files created using
an Arabic version of Adobe Acrobat, or simply an English version which
converts post script Arabic files?

I am creating Arabic documents (.doc) under Arabic Windows 98 and
Arabic Word 95, but when I try using Acrobat Distiller 3.01 on them it
does not work.  Any suggestions?

I thank you for your time!

  "But, can we expect teachers to revolutionize the social order
  for the good of the community?!  Indeed, we must expect this
  very thing."
