The problem is that Thai and Indic text is tricky to appear and depends on
the OS. iText outputs the text in Unicode but after that it's the viewer
responsabilitie to show it. Recently there was a thread on this in
comp.text.pdf without any solution, I must say.

The outline is tied to the document. You'll have to duplicate the outlines
in all the documents.
