Hi, casanova.
The barcode font is supposed to be different with the stantard font. Is this a bug? Have you informed the admin to checked your CODE?
I want help, but I am a newbie here. I hope you success. Goode luck.

Is invoice generated with a scheduled process? In case you have to install the font on NAS too.

I remember that we had a simular issue once. We fixed it by restarting the middle tier service after installing the font.

nope...
in codeunit sales post
once it done and created as posted invoice

Hello,
SSRS sometimes have problems with embedding some fonts to PDF during export. (At least 2005, not sure about 2008).
Do next steps:
1) Right click on the font on service-tier and press install, restart Service Tier
check if you still get this issue
2) right click on the font on the PC that generates an invoice, restart PC and generate file
check if barcode exists. After invoice is generated, check if barcode is shown but on another PC where this font is not installed.

Now about the problem in general:
1) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... (v=SQL.100).aspx -> Make sure your font is "Embeddable" and TrueType
2) To check if the font is TrueType and the its embeddable, right click the font file and select Properties, and then you can find these properties in the Details tab.

If it's not - change the font -> the only solution, or use C/AL code to create BMP file as a barcode and use it as a picture. Might be slow with big files (http://mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp?FileID=1192) To improve performance in 2013 with pictures you might try write additional procedure on top of that codeunit to convert BMP to PNG on fly (use GDI Plus) -> that will reduce size up to 10 times and report will be much faster

Wish you good luck!

is there a .net software that can create pdf document and generate barcode at the same time, so we don't need to choose for whether to use barcode font or not.
i'd really like to create pdf for my invoice. any suggestions? thank you.
