Hi all,

I am very happy that i can find someone has same problem as me. However, i already tried the fonts "Arial Unicode MS (Chinese_BIG5)", "細明體(Chinese_BIG5)", export to pdf still can't show those chinese character. Before i used AcrobatReader7.0, then I just installed 8.0, but it still can't help. Could you all experts help????

Thanks a lot!!!

I think I'd found the cause.

Wrong font settings of fields in rpt file will cause the problem to happen.

After I changed all the fonts' type to Chinese in rpt designer, the exporting pdf is ok.

But I don't understand why it's ok when exporting to M$-files except for the PDFs thouth they are with the same rpt and same fonts' settings.

Note that I use it in VS2005 and the original rpt file was generated with Crystal Report 8.5.

Hi Michael,

Thanks,

The fact is I've the newest version (7.0.5) of Acrobat Reader and all its updates installed.

And it is very perfectly to display Chinese as it used to be, except for the PDFs exported by BO.

Hi Leslie,

Just a guess... but does Acrobat (or whatever PDF viewer you may use) require a download of an Asian language pack?
