Copy ‘n’ Paste from PDF files generated from SQL Server Reporting Services

Over the last months I’ve seen more and more customers inquiring about issues when trying to Copy text from PDF files exported from Reporting Services reports and Pasting it into other documents. The issue they were complaining about makes so that pasting of the text fails and instead of the expected text they only get ‘???????’ characters. Especially, some of the users have noticed a change in behavior related to this feature after installing CU6 for SQL Server 2005 SP2; reports that supported this functionality before this package was installed, suddenly stopped working.
