  It can be done via dvipdfmx. The only you needed is your TTF and
  *.tfm and/or *.sfd of ttf2pk.

  It can be used under both LaTeX CJK package and ConTeXt.

  This way you can do copy&paste&search on Chinese characters.

  Otfried had memtion that merge the function into pdftex. It's
  useful for CJKV people.

  FYI.
