I don't think Director would be the ideal tool. It doesn't support Unicode, for one thing. It can do Greek, and most other widespread languages, with some effort, but not in Unicode. I've done similar things in C++ with third-party database packages, but I'd hesitate to do this in Director. Check into Acrobat, too--it can do a lot of the things you want.
