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?

Any thing that could get me started would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This is a long shot but look in your international settings on your local machine where languages are installed. I think it is in the control panel under languages / accessibility. You will need to install that language pack from the windows xp cd. Select japanese or chinese and do the install. Once the install is done reboot your local IIS server and rerun that report.

Good luck.

Hi Jhermiz,

Asian Language pack of windows xp were installed already even before I posted this inquiry on this forum.

Currently I'm still on the look for fixes on this.

I was able to make it show if I try to use Batang on the textboxes on the RS report. Korean, Jap & Chinese is shown, but Thai doesn't :( And besides Batang is not a good font for English characters :(

Hi - I am having the same problem getting Chinese to export to pdf in an application we have. (I am not the developer.) I installed the East Asian language files on the server as well as on my computer. Have you had any luck with this?

Thanks
