Hebrew pdf output for kindle - newbie

Hi All, great forum!
I am very impressed by calibre, but have not managed to figure out how to do the following.
Kindle does not support hebrew (without the font hack), and even with the font hack does not support bidi or right-to-left text.
However, with a well sized page and font, hebrew pdf displays nicely.
I have done this manually by copy-paste to word with A6 page size and narrow margins, then saving as pdf.
I would like to be able to choose to do the same for free ebooks and/or news feeds via calibre.
This link https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ghlight=hebrew seems to be the right direction, but I didn't completely understand it.
I would like to be able to change the output at will (i.e. not have all books - including english ones - output as pdf).
Will I have to change the global preference each time? Which global preference is relevant? Can I run two instances of calibre each with a different global preference?

Thanks!
