• SQL Server Problems with generating PDF reports with TrueType CID fonts

  Hello, I have encountered a problem with SS2005 SSRS's PDF export tool. I'm using a TrueType CID font (MingLIU, to be precise) to display simplified and traditional Chinese character sets for the reports. While the simplified Chinese character set is exported flawlessly, the traditional Chinese character set are replaced with exclamation points ("!"), and apparently the exporter was not able to embed the TrueType CID font within the exported PDF.

Is ther a way to programatically export the report to PDF using a third-party PDF exporting component Or to even change the default PDF exporter ...Show All

  I'm looking for a resource editor (for use with VS2005) that better than what's included in Visual Studio.  Primary will be working strings, and some binary data.
