Which application are you using for reading the PDF files - Preview or 
AcrobatReader?

If I recall right neither Preview nor AcrobatReader can do this and it's 
not only in Hebrew, but also any other Semittic language + any of the 
Asian 2-byte languages.

Another problem maight be if the PDF text is saved as a "picture" or 
just "text". - Can you highlight words/sentences in the PDF file by just 
clicking on it and the copy the highlighted to a Nisu document? - If you 
can do so, the PDF has been saved as "text", - if you can't, it's saved 
as "picture".

To be able to do a full search in a PDF /textfile/ (see above) you'll 
need to have an Acrobat Pro version matching your system.

If the PDF text has been saved as a picture I do not know anything on 
how to solve such a problem.:-(
