embed barcode in pdf

We export a report (pdf format) from Reporting Services that contains
barcodes. If someone tries to view the pdf on a computer that doesn't have
the barcode font loaded it doesn't show up. Is there a way to embed the
barcode image in the pdf?
Thanks,
TimPerhaps someone else will jump in but I am pretty sure there is no way to
embed the font in RS 2005.
RS 2008 will have barcode support (part of the Dundas controls that
Microsoft purchased and is including in RS 2008). This support will allow
you to get around this problem. Today your only choice is to have anyone
that needs to print barcodes to have the font on their machine.
