After installing SP3 on our SQL/SSRS boxes, we are observing that file sizes for reports rendered as PDF have increased by about 4-6 times.
I think I've narrowed it down to the fact that for some reason SSRS is now embedding the fonts in the PDF files.
Has anyone else noticed this happening?
I found this link about disabling font embedding in SSRS 2005 SP3. Just think it is odd that an SP would cause this behavior change, and wonder if anyone else had seen this happen before.
