PDF output problem for checkbox like "Ticks" displayed in reports

Hi All,
we created a report that should render some "checked items" (like the ticks
in a checkbox) to indicate the given answers for multiple chooice questions
from a questionaire.
Displaying the tick is done by using a unicode character from the font "MS
Mincho". When we render the report in report viewer, all seems to be fine,
but when rendered to a pdf it goes wrong; the "tick" is replaced with a
question mark.
We can't find any specific unicode/pdf related settings for RS. Any clues.
Many thanks in advance,
TimHi tvds,
I have exactly the same problem, did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Markus

PDF export

I have a main report with 2 subreports as the only items
in a list control. I am linking the 2 reports to a field
in the dataset of the main report. When I view the
report from the report manager or just from the report
URL it looks fine. When I export to PDF the first page
is blank. The 2nd page and all other pages are fine, but
the data from the first page just isn't there. The data
on the 2nd page is supposed to be the 2nd page so it's
just the first page that is not showing up. Has anyone
else seen this and have an idea of how to correct it?Rick,
I see this same problem with my report. Although with mine I have about 20
pages, but if I re-order those pages moving any other page to the first page
position, that page becomes blank, and the old first page is fine, so no
matter what is on the page, it is always the first one that is blank. I have
posted around on this and have not gotten a working response, I did however
find a MSDN "chat" where microsoft briefly mentioned this and said they knew
about it but did not know how to fix it
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/chats/trans/sql/sql060704.mspx)
well post here if you ever get a solution. Thanks and sorry I couldnt be more
helpful.
