Not necessarily...

I get the same behavior with an MS-Word-generated PDF. Also - it's not a good
thing to break up the Hebrew text into per-character runs. So Writer probably
does a good thing here.

Only this is the problem, I would say.

> That may have something to do

good shot, sounds plausible. And I observe the same separate text boxes in the
PDF directly exported from Wikipedia ("Document created by Skia/PDF m110", what
ever that might mean)

f) so we might have 2 Problems here
f1) Writer PDF export does something different to other PDF creators, so that
DRAW PDF import does not recognize how to handle the parenthesis in the 
RTL text  

  but also:

f2) DRAW PDF import wrongly swaps parentheses in PDF export from Writer,
   although parenthesis look correctly in original PDF

It might be useful / necessary  to create a second BUG for (f1); I did not find
any possibly related WRITER bug.

I just printed-to-PDF from Firefox, at that URL. When opening in Draw, I
noticed that some/all of the Hebrew parentheses are actually in their own
separate one-character text box. That may have something to do with why they
weren't flipped.

I would like to understand why the Wikipedia PDF Parentheses do not show the
problem.

Microsoft Word for example. If you're asking about a specific source, we can
try that source.

Already REPRODUCIBLE with Server Installation of Version:  4.0.0.3 WIN10
Build-ID  7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89;  Special devUserProfile

Additional Info:
a) Reporer's sample.pdf opens OK with FF Nightly, File Viewer, FoxIt, 
   FreePDF, EDGE
b) probably independent from WRITER PDF export. I created a PDF from a 
   WRITER document via ZAMZAR, same Parentheses direction swapped problem 
   when open in DRAW
c) Also Curly Brackets, Square Brackets affected
d) I did not see the problem in a PDF export from
  
https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%AA%D7%91%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA:%D7%97%D7%93%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA_%D7%95%D7%90%D7%A7%D7%98%D7%95%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%94
   opened in DRAW
e) This query

might show related Bugs.

@reporter:
Do you also see the problem with RTL PDF from other sources?
