Embedding PDF Document

Does reporting services allow emdedding of PDF documents? I dont want to convert the document to JPEG as the size increases many times (for me the image size is around 1.6MB vs. 100KB for PDF) and i have several of these images. Would appreciate if anyone has done similar exercise to embed document within reports.
thanks !!Not sure what we would really embed it in? HTML isn't really a format that
supports embedding. You can embed docs in e-mail messages as well as link to
docs on a web page. I suppose we could have an MHTML format that embedded a
PDF file but this hasn't been high on the priority list.

page. Can you just link to the document on a web site from the report? You
could even store the PDF in the Report Server database and link to it.
