Bar Codes

Is there a way to generate barcodes in Acrobat XI Pro?
I used it a lot in "Live Cycle Designer" that came with Acrobat 8 but when I installed version XI, it uninstalled Live Cycle as well.
It is critical that I be able to have this function for one of my largets customers.
thank you,

Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?

Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.

Hi Mike,
In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

Bar Code Scanning for Windows Phone 8.1

Hi,
I need to find proper way how to scan bar codes in Windows Phone 8.1 or in universal app. I found out that there is native class BarcodeScanner available only for client apps and not for WP. I also find 3rd party library zxing.net, which is not working very
well on WP 8.1. I have done really deep research, but I have not found any single working solution for WP 8.1, so I would like to ask for your help in finding of library with which I will be able to scan barcodes on WP 8.1.
Thank you.

If you don't need a universal App you could build a Silverlight 8.1 App and use the old Camera APIs which work nicely with ZXing.Net. I have done so myself.
As for Windows 8 and Universal Apps - you would have to implement a CustomSink for the Video Stream, extract Frames from there and pipe those though a recognition library. So far there seems to be no ready made solution that offers this.
So right now using the old APIs would be my suggestion.

PDF report with bar code

Hello.
I am creating a PDF report using the Oracle Reports 6i running on Oracle Concurrent Manager.
The PDF report has a bar code.
The report finish with success but it is visualized without the bar code.
Into the output report the bar code name is small font (mw6code39mt) always.
I can visualize the output report when I manually alter the bar code name from small font to large font (MW6 Code39MT) only. I do it in my Unix server using the text editor.
The bar code name installed in my PC is large font (MW6 Code39MT)
I am experiencing problem when visualizing or printing the output report.
Has somebody experience about it or some idea about how can I to configure the Unix server or Oracle to solve the problem?
Thank you.
Edson

Hi Julie,
Sorry my english.
I will try to explain in more details the problem.
I have identified that the bar code name into the PDF output is lowercase (mw6code39mt).
I only visualize or print the PDF output with the bar code when I manually alter that bar code name from lowercase to uppercase (MW6Code39MT).
I do that in my Unix server using the vi editor.
Please, see what I need to alter in the PDF output file on Unix server:
<</Type /Font
/Name /F1
/Subtype /Type1
/Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
/BaseFont /mw6code39mt ====> alter to MW6Code39MT
/FirstChar 24
/LastChar 255
/Widths 9 0 R
/FontDescriptor 10 0 R

endobj
Thank you.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

Problems on scanning BAR CODES

Hi people!
I have to print bar codes from an abap report and then scan. I've done the first part (printing) but I just can't scan the code I print. Does someone have an idea?
Thanks,
Rodrigo.

Hi Rodrigo,
Didn't know you could produce Barcodes from ABAP reports - how did you do this? As Christian said, you could also make the font bigger. What are the barcode specs? Sometimes, you need to have the ratios between the "thin" and "thick" lines set up based onthe type of scanner you use. You can manipulate these settings through the Bar Code Settings via SE73.
This is how you can do it. Let's assume you are using a HP1200 Device Type and a Code 128A Barcode Font. From SE73, click on the "Printer Bar Codes" Radio button and select Display.
Double Click on the HP1200 Device Type and you will see all the Bar Codes that have been set up for that Device Type. Find "C128A_00" and single click on the Prefix 'SBP25' and hit the "Displ. Print Control" button.
This Prefix is the external printer control command that SAP will pass to the printer in the printer's language. Once you hit the "Disp. Print Control" button a popup will appear, now look at the Control Char. Seq. This is the printer command for this particular Barcode font. All the characteristics relating to Barcode Font, Size, Height, Spacing, Ratios, etc are defined here.
Because these commands are in the Printer's Native Language, you will need to get the relevant programming guide for your printer to know what values to manipulate.
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,
Pat.

How to add bar code in report(se38 develop)

hi all,
as a existing abap report which print out the report with a lot of special logic, so i want Use abap report program to print bar code instead of smartforms . how to process?
thanks.

Hi Kumar,
You cannot write custom code (0% coding) in an Report Writer/Painter report. The code is generated by SAP while generating the Report group. The only place in a report writer report where you can write very minimal code is at varables level or formulas inside reports.
At the report group header level, there is provision to provide authorization group. Try that.

Subin John.

Bar code not scanned by scanner machine.

Hello!
Problem is there after print the report, bar code is not scanned by scanner.
Thank You.

Hi,
Do you use crystal report or standard Print Layout?
if you use Crystal Report, Normally we use font "Code39"
Try this:
Add asterick ( * ) between the text you want to scan.
e.g.
asterickDOCNO123456asterick
asterick is the symbol with no space in between.
and change the whole string font to Code39

How to print bar codes in sap script and smartform

bar code sheet to print for particular customer when the
transfer order is created.

Hi,
You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:
○ Start transaction SE73, and choose System Bar Codes ® Change.
○ If you create a bar code, the system asks whether you want to use the new bar code technology or traditional system bar codes. Choose New.
You can enter a name and a description for the bar code. Note that the name must begin with a Zto avoid conflict between your bar codes and the standard bar codes.
2. If you have created a new bar code, you must now add this to a Smart Style as a character format. For information about this, see the section Maintenance of Styles with the Style Builder and its subsections in the Smart Forms documentation.
If you have only changed the bar code, continue with the next step.
3. You can now select text in Smart Forms and choose the corresponding style with the bar code as the character format for this text.
4. You can then print the bar code.

How to print BAR CODE in SAP SMART FORMS

Hi,
I want to print inspection lot's BAR CODE in the smart form, but i dont know the way how to print this into the smartform.
if anyone have any idea, please suggest me how to print this as it is urgent for me to complete the object.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Abnish,
Welcome to SDN.
We are able to print barcodes from smartforms. Doing this way, we print barcodes on laser printers.
We are also printing from sap to zebra printers using two ways:
1. Download the data to an excel sheet, then creating a macro that opens the printer port and sending the commands to the printer through this "file". All this is done via vb script provided with excel)..
2. The second way is creating a vbscript (an ascii file from sap) with the printer commands and then runing it using ws_execute.
You need a barcode reader to read the barcodes, and this scanner acts like a keyboard, it sends the data scanned to the active field on screen. (which might be a notepad, word, excel or an input field or ... ).
From 4.6c on, you can use smartforms to print barcodes without buying any barcode.dll software nor hardware extention like Bardimm on any laser/inkjet printer (Please Note that I haven't mentioned Zebra printers here!). To do this, you have to create a smartstyle -> character format with the desired barcode font (defined within sap). Then in the smartform, create a window, put the field and associate it the character format. That's all (I mean, that's all we do at least :-). I think, you have to consider the barcode specifications before sending the barcode value to the smartform (Just an example, if you're using 3 of 9, the code should start and end with an asterisk - '*' -) We're printing an interleaved 2 out of 5 barcode in our invoices due to a legal requirement, and we did it this way.
3. If you have a barcode scanner, then you should not need reading the barcode into an ascii file to get the data read in an standard or custom screen field. You can read it directly to the field you want. (unless... you have complex data coded in the barcode - for example if you're using an ean-ucc 128 compliant code and you're sending several fields in a single code ... In this case, an interface is almost mandatory because you must interpret the data fields according to the ucc standard, split the code into several fields .... and .... pure programming logic ).
To put it clear: if you have to read, for example, a barcode that holds the legal number of an invoice using a barcode scanner and this number should be sent to migo-> bktxt then you don't need an interface. The scanner itself acts like a fast operator entering the characters using a keyboard and filling in the field.
We're reading barcodes in several places (when we finish each pallet, when we receive an invoice, and so on. Each case is a different screen. We arent using an ascii file to read these barcodes. Furthermore, we read the invoice legal number into migo bktxt field (Head Text).

How to print BAR code in SMART Form

Hi All,
I have the requirement to print BAR CODE in Smartforms.
For this, I create a character format with Bar code in style forms and create a text element in Smart form and associate bar code character format with this text element.
Now when I look the print preview for the data, then it shows me data in bar code format but not in right format i.e. its shows me all the similar block in bar code.
If you look the bar code in SAP script, its always show you bar code with similar block, but in SMART FORM it will show you exact bar code; as in SAP Script, bar code is generated at printer end and in SMARTFORM bar code is generated as graphic in SAP and then sent to printer for print.
PLease let me know, why in SMARTFORM its not showing BAR CODE in correct format in print preview.
Thanks

Hi,
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
