Greetings Albrecht Hofheinz,
One thing you could do if convert the Arabic Word.doc
file into a PDF from your Macintosh. You would import
the Arabic Word file into an Arabic program, and then
"Save As PDF".
Another possible option is to check if there is a
Word-viewer utility available for Macintosh. But my
guess if such a word-viewer utility were available,
the file may not display correctly without the
original fonts active on your system.

the latest Mac system supports Arabic, but not older versions.
they need Language kit to view the file. However there are some
ways out of this if the purpose is converting only.
