Converting HTML to PDF for Hebrew version of our website getting gibberish in the rendered PDF

[boomar53364785]

Hi,

Our hebrew website which has a dynamic PDF generated based out of the html and passed to itext pdf getting gibberish. We use itext pdf 5.5.5 version and 

also set  UTF-8 as a charset and Arial unicode MS.ttf has been used.  The fonts getting all content changed to question marks (???) .  The issue is only for hebrew, seems were missing something to set the required parameters.

Please provide us some insights to verify .

Thanks
