Exporting To PDF With Chinese/Jap Characters

Hi all!I have created a report that may display Chinese, Korean and Japanese characters. Everything is fine on the report itself when rendered in the browser, all the characters are showing as it should be, but when I try to export it to pdf, all these characters turned into question marks ??.


I've tried installing Adobe Asian pack, but still I can't make these character shows up.Can anyone shed light on this? I'm doing a local report only BTW. Would there be any effect if I'll do it as a server report?

Anything that could get me started would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I've had these kind of issues to when I used what is supposed to be a unicode font, Arial. After switching to a different unicode font, MS Gothic, everything printed correctly. Try that.

I've tried MS Gothic, the chinese character showed correctly but for Jap, Korean and Thai it didn't :( So tried other fonts and the closest that can show Chinese, Jap & Korean is the font Batang, though it cannot display Thai :(

I've googled endlessly post on different forums but still got any clear answer as to if this is a limitation on SSRS or what.

Sorry I can't help you any more. I'm still pretty new to unicode fonts.

I'm having the same exact issue. I tried using Batang as a font but it still will not show up properly in pdf. have you found a fix for this?

No prob Eric. Actually you already helped me when you said try using other fonts. It will be my temporary fix for the mean time.

I dunno if the Asian Language pack from adobe would help. I have installed it before I tried changing the font style on the report.
