MICR Font Issue When Exporting to PDF

Hi,

I'm using Reporting Service to print checks. Everything seems ok when I design and deploy and view the reports. But when I try to export to pdf, the MICR font I'm using does not work. I've tried a couple of different MICR fonts from the web and they either get replaced by a standard font or disappear altogether. I would love to know why that is.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I am having the same problem did you by any chance solve this problem?

Thanks

We don't embed fonts in the PDF. This means the font needs to be installed on the machine you are opening the pdf on.

Hi Tom

Thanks for replying

But i tryed even to Open the PDF on the same mechine that i am running the SSRS Report From that has the micr font in it , and still dont see the Micr Font in the PDF at all not even substitute with a other font what could be the problem?

Thanks

|||anyone have a answer for this?|||Microsoft tech support says the font must be a True Type font. Also, for some reason, the fonts seem not to work at 12pt or above. 10 and 11 pt seems to work fine.|||Witch font are you using that works with 10 and 11 pt becuase my font dose not work with this either so can you tell me witch micr font are you using?|||so can you please tell me which micr font will work by pdf export?|||

Like Ryan said, make sure you have the font installed on both the server and on the client.

I have seen several barcode fonts that do not include the correct spacing or at least do not report the correct spacing through the Win32 APIs our PDF renderer calls. It's also very possible we have a bug in that area.

If you file a bug at http://connect.microsoft.com and include the rdl and font, I'll gladly take a look.

Thanks,

I am facing the same problem. The text in MICR Font disappears when i render the report to PDF.

Is there any solution/workaround for this problem?

Ok... we found a solution.

Increase the height and width of the textbox, which contains the text in MICR font.

that solved our issue

|||Could you help me fix my MICR report like you fixed yours? I tried increasing the height and width of the text box. I need help ASAP. Thanks|||Make sure the MICR font is on the same mechine that you open the pdf and leva space fot the height and the width and try woth Size 12 max this worked by me|||I tried that. Could you send me a .rdl file by email? I would appreciate that.|||

can also be that your rdl file is corupted so try the same on a other rdl file with same font and a text box the hight be bigger than the font and see then

also check the pdf file by CTRL-D fonts tab check if the pdf has the font in it, if it dose you shuld be good to go just play around with the Height if the text box

btw: no email address is specified
