What we should be grateful for is the scanned document, the image (the text version is just the OCR byproduct of the scanning process and generally is of most use as a search resource within the PDF. So yes, Will, we should be grateful.

When I tried looking at it with different encodings, the gibberish came out with different results depending on the encoding. That indicates that the missing Hebrew is written with two or more byte characters. Now if only we can decipher  those.

(is my Arabic appearing on your system as disconnected letters? Yes, it does look wrong as the terminal forms signify word divisions that don't exist. But Arabic written with separate letters - square Hebrew letters, at least - gas formed one part of Arabic for a millennium.

Nah, your Arabic looks like Arabic, all running together. I’m using Macintosh.
