 CR 8.5 - include fonts in PDF

Hi
I have a 'Report server' that produces reports and sends over the Internet.

With 8.0, I printed on a PDF distiller printer port (a dir) to get the PDF
produced.

Now i use  'Dim Report As CRAXDRT.Report' , setting the Report.ExportOptions
property to PDF, but...

the distiller permits to include fonts in PDF (not all of them have
CopperplateBold or SimSun, for example), but i can't do the same with 8.5

Can anybody help me?

Thanks
Robert

Are you saying that all you want to do is dynamically create PDFs from RPT
files with .NET and 8.5?

If so, check this link out (watch for wrap):

No, not in .NET, in VB6 only using the classes in 8.5 (CRAXDRT);
If on the client machine a font used in the report is not installed, the PDF
can't find the font and displays "gargabe".

If you use the Distiller printer, you can say "include the font ,not only
link to it", so the fonts aren't a problem.
Can I do the same ("include the font ,not only link to it"), with the PDF
export option?

Thanks
