Exporting SSRS 2008 Report to TIFF or PDF looses barcode
If I export the SSRS 2008 report to PDF or TIFF from BIDS, PDF and TIFF look fine. Both are having barcode in it. When I do the same from the browser, barcode is not showing up on the PDF and TIFF. Am I missing any setting on the report server as it is working fine inside business intelligence studio. ?

Hi, How do you use barcode in the report? If you are using barcode font, the issue might be caused by embedding font. First, please ensure the barcode font has been installed on the server, and your Reporting Services 2008 is within Cumulative Update #1 installed. If so, the particular font which only installed on the Report Server might be embedded in PDF automatically when export the report on client browser. However, please be aware that the barcode font also needs to meet some specific conditions. Please read the section Font Embedding in the article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159713(v=SQL.100).aspx To check if the font is TrueType and the its embeddability, please right click the font file and select Properties, and then you can find these properties in the Details tab.
