I don't understand arabic, so I can't see which of the documents you 
have sent me shows correct arabic sentences and which one shows them the 
other way round. I also don't have the time to inspect the PDF to find out.

OK, so you shouldn't use that method.

You can define the correct run direction when using ColumnText.
So this is the way to go.

What more is there to know?
You have all the information you need in the tutorial.
- Create the ColumnText object
- set the correct rundirection
- add a paragraph with the correct alignment (I'd use addElement() 
instead of setText())
- define the 'determined positions' by defining one single column
- call go()
