Is this a limitation of Reporting Services...?

I am beginning to wonder if the behavior I am running into is a possible
limitation of Reporting Services. This is related to exporting a report to
.pdf that contains an embedded image. I have seen some discussion on this,
but have been unable to glean a solution from the existing threads.
My problem is that when I embed an image into my reports, it looks ok
in Visual Studio, but when I export to .pdf, it is blocky and distorted. My
graphics guy has put the image into ten different formats with different
resolutions, but they all render the same way.
What is the Microsoft recommeded format and resolution for image rendering
to .pdf? He designed the logo and can put it in whatever format I need, I
just don't know what to tell him. I found something on Image Device
Information Settings,
that lists 96 dpi as the best, but we tried that with the same results. It
also said something about the tif format, but when I tried to import the .tif
file, .tif was not listed as an image format in the wizard.
And yes, I have upgraded to SP1.I have posted this same message 7 times and still have not received an
answer. I am beginning to think that I am either invisible, or I have found
a limitation of Reporting Services. If that is the case, I would love for
someone to tell me so. I have spent more hours than I can count trying to
resolve this...
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||OK, so I read this to see if I can help. I don't have a clue what your
problem is. Either repost with the problem to this thread or better yet,
repost with a good description in the subject. Depending on the subject
people with different expertise will jump in.
