Loooking at the PDF, the string is printed with this operation:

  <00CD 00A3 0095 0070 00B4 002A >Tj

I added the spaces for readability.

the toUnicode map is:

  6 beginbfchar
  <002A> <0627>
  <0070> <062D>
  <0095> <0644>
  <00A3> <064A>
  <00B4> <06440645>
  <00CD> <064A0646>
  endbfchar

so when the text is extracted the sequence of unicode is:

  064A0646 064A 0644 062D 06440645 0627

the output from 

  pdftotext -enc UCS-2 049.pdf - | hexdump -C

is

  00000000  20 2b 06 27 06 45 06 44  06 2d 06 44 06 4a 06 46  |
+.'.E.D.-.D.J.F|
  00000010  06 4a 20 2c 00 0a 00 0a  00 0c                    |.J ,......|

pdftotext has output the unicode characters in reverse order as you
would expect for a RTL script. It looks like the glyphs that mapped to
two unicode characters have their characters reversed.
