It could be an encoding issue, but it is difficult to tell without knowing how you are writing to the PDF file (what library, what encoding etc...).
Another thing to look at are the embedded fonts used in the PDF - by default there wouldn't be any and you would need to embed a Hebrew font to be used for Hebrew text. You would need to ensure that you have the rights to embed and distribute such a font before doing so.

@MichaelA - You will need to use your PDF library and embed the font using Java. – Oded Aug 29 '12 at 08:26
