Issue occurs to both In-process and StandAlone report servers.
This behaviour is observed on reports generated as PDF with subsetting, HTML, HTMLCSS, and RTF. This issue is not displayed when using DESFORMAT as DELMITED, SPREADSHEET, ENHANCEDSPREADSHEET.
Example: Sample Arabic PDF text will look like below
