PROBLEM DEFINITION:
The SSRS report is using TrueType font – 39251 for displaying the barcode. The report when rendered in BIDS environment for MHTML, EXCEL, PDF, WORD, the report is displaying the barcode and as such no issues. When the report is published to Reporting Services, there is issue with PDF rendering only. The PDF report output is not displaying the barcode, instead displaying numbers. Whereas for MHTML, EXCEL, WORD rendering the report is displaying the barcode.
For the above issue, I have done lot of research and tried most of the workarounds (below mentioned) which did not work. 1. Changed the design of the SSRS to include barcode in the image instead of textbox. 2. Used Custom coding for barcode. 3. Ensured that the barcodes are installed in this location C:\WINDOWS\Fonts on the server and the server is restarted. 4. Ensured that the barcodes are installed in this location C:\WINDOWS\Fonts on the client machine and it is restarted. 5. On Report Server machine, Installed barcode font – 39251 in this location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\Font.
If anyone come up with the solution, please keep me informed.
Thanks
