Though easy to dismiss as a mere PR man, Jack is clearly a man of many parts and a learned person. He has tried to familiarise himself with pre-Islamic history of Aceh and has an English standard that is rare in Aceh.

I'm going to go ahead and try to break down the first part of your paragraph into more simple terms. I hope this helps:
"Though easy to consider as a mere Public Relations man, Jack is clearly a streetwise man and a well educated person."
1. 'Easy to dismiss' in this context is to say that at first glance, Jack could easily be considered or thought of as a simple PR man.
2. A 'PR' man is a someone who deals in public relations. People in PR usually manage communications between companies/organisations and their audiences. They help to build or improve an image for public approval.
3. 'A man of many parts' indicates to us that Jack is knowledgeable in more areas than just the one he is currenlty involved in.

1. "easy to dismiss" means not to be taken seriously.
2. "PR" means public relations, or someone who tries to get people to think a certain way (usually positive) about something or someone
3. "A man of many parts" means a complicated person, not someone who has just one interest or talent.

1. forgettable, ignorable, easy to discredit
2. PR Man - Public relations agents tend to be only interested in promoting their products.
3. it means that he has depth and is well rounded.
Another way of stating the intent of this sentence is:
Even though Jack was merely an agent hired to promote his company, his worldliness and education showed through.

1. It is easy to see Jack as unimportant.
2. I believe this would be "public relations".
3. He has many things to him. He's not just a worker in public relations, he also likes pre-Islamic history and has an English standard rare for people like him.

"easy to dismiss" means "easy to assume" "easy to just to label him..." "easy to make a quick judgement..."
"PR man" - I have no idea..
"man of many parts" - He is an intellectual, and he has a lot of knowledge.
