Barcode conversion in pdf

Hi all,
I have developed a smartform which I am sending out as an email. It is converted to pdf when it is sent out.But when I check the pdf document, the barcodes appear as straight boxes not as a bar code.
Is there any limitation in SAP when converting to PDF?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Srikar

Hi Renu
Bar codes do not print on PDF without some special software.  SAPScript is simply sending the po number as a different font that the printer recognises as a bar code font. 
I am guessing that to be able to get barcodes in a PDF document the bar code needs to be converted to a graphic like a bmp or jpeg.  PDF documents from SAPscript are character based using vectors and fonts.
In our system, the PDF contains a barcode that is not readable.  Only printed forms can be scanned.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Michael.

    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.

  • How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

    How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

    This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
    anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
    for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
    after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
    permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files  in Cyrillic.
    I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
    allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I  am now asking for my
    money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
    not successful.

  • Batch Conversion of PDF to Postscript

    I've been trying write a script for Batch conversion of PDF to PS files, using "silent" printing. I'm apparently missing something, because acrobat keeps crashing after executing the script (and the .ps files are not being created). Its also still prompting me for a filename. Not really sure of the syntax for keeping the same filename? I'm new to java script, so I'm sure its something I have wrong. My code is below, if anyone can help me out. I'm using Acrobat 7.0.9
    this.print ({bUI: false,bSilent: true,bShrinktoFit: true,});
    var pp = this.getPrintParams();
    pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
    pp.printername = "Xerox Docuprint 92C NPS PS2 C1";
    pp.filename = "c:\temp\$filename$.ps";
    this.print(pp);
    Thanks

    Why are you calling the print method twice?
    Your syntax in the first call to print is in error. You have a comma after bShrinkToFit: true which is telling the JS interpreter to expect another argument.
    Use this for filename (not the capital N in filename ... use proper case for property names):
    pp.fileName = "/c/temp/" + this.documentFileName + ".ps";
    Also, when printing to PostScript you shouldn't specify a printer name. Use this (again, note the proper case for properties):
    pp.printerName = "";
    It says exactly this in the documentation for the fileName property of the PrintParams object. I suggest you read the documentation relating to the methods you're trying to use ... always a good place to find answers.
    > When printerName is an empty string and fileName is specified, the current document is saved as a PostScript file.
    Although it may not consider C:\temp a "safe path" (I can't remember off the top of my head). You'll want to read the documentation regarding JavaScript "safe paths". If it is still prompting you for a filename it is most likely ignoring your path due to security restrictions.

  • Adobe design question for barcodes and including PDFs

    Hi all,
    I am new to using Adobe LC ES 8.2. I have been reading this forum and it has been very helpful. We have certainrigid requirements for our application that is making it difficult to come up with a clean solution. I am hoping this forum will be able to answer some of my questions:
    Use case: Our application needs to mail correspondence to users (printed PDFs not fillable forms). We plan to use Adobe LC ES Designer to design all the forms and Assembler Service to assemble the documents together. The plan is to merge the templates with XML business data dynamically and then assemble them. When the documents are assembled together, documents to be assembled include Cover Pages Templates, Notice Templates, Attachments (could be templates or static PDFs) and decisions that will be converted into PDF from an RTF document using Adobe Professional 8. The user creates the document in RTF and convert it into PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional and store it for assembly process. Our Print Shop requires the entire assembled mailing to have bar codes on each of the pages with the following information:
    1 D 3of9 barcode - JOB ID (can be sent dynamically) +  PIECE ID (number of mailing) + SHEET ID (page number with in the PIECE ID - front and back of the page get the same number)
    Following are the questions we have:
    1. What ways are available to apply the bar code to the assembled document as one piece of information in the bar code is the SHEET ID for the entire mailing? I would know the total number of pages only after assembly.
    2. If there is a way to manipulate the barcode information after assembly, I am not sure how we can handle bar coding the Decision PDFs that will be converted from RTF using Adobe Professional 8.
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Thank you. So, using Form Services we can manipulate the document (barcode object) after assembly.This is great.I will look into this. When we spoke to Adobe, they wanted us to complete all merge prior to assembly and said we cannot manipulate the document after assembly.
    How would I handle a barcode for a PDF that has been converted into PDF from a RTF document? My concern is that even if the RTF has a barcode, will it be a format that can be manipulated after it is converted into PDF by the user and submitted to the assembly process?
    One of my ideas is to maybe convert this PDF into images and include it in the XML data as base64 images and merge it with an Adobe Form template having image fields. This is not a clean approach and I am very concerned about performance issues with the size of the data XML.
    The other thing I am reading up about is "Underlaying pages" - http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/ddxRef/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=0012 71.html#1548394&accessible=true
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much.

  • Download Conversion of PDF to JPEG...

    23 December 2012
    My Computer doesn't have a conversion from PDF to JPEG. How can I have it for free?
    Best wishes and God bless!
    Earl

    Hi Baby look,
    Please follow the instructions below to convert pdf to jpeg :
    Open the PDF document you want to convert in Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free PDF viewer.
    Click the "Snapshot" icon in the tools bar. The icon resembles a small camera. If the icon is not visible, right click the tool bar and select "Snapshot" from the bottom of the "More Tools" list.
      Move the Snapshot cursor, which is displayed as a small cross, to the beginning of the section in the PDF document you want to copy.
    Click and hold your mouse button. Drag the cursor to the end of the section you want to copy.
    Release the mouse button. The section you outlined is automatically copied to your clipboard as a JPEG image and highlighted in Adobe Reader to indicate the copy is complete.
    Open an image editing program such as IrfanView or MS Paint. Press "Ctrl+V" on your keyboard to paste the copied image.
    Press "Ctrl+S" to save the copied image as a JPEG file.

  • Number of free conversions to PDF allowed

    Hi, using acrobat.com free facilities for first time a screen tells me I am allowed five free conversions to PDF. Is that five per session, per day... or just 5 in total ever, as a trial? Thanks anyone! - Tony in Devon

    Hello Tony,
    Thanks for posting. A free account will allow you to convert 5 PDF files over the lifetime of your account; it is not a session or monthly quota. If you're considering an upgrade for your account, you may want to look at the pricing page, which delineates the features of subscription accounts:

  • How to read 'Barcode' in Adobe PDF Forms?

    Hi Everybody,
    I have a scanned pdf of 20 pages. There is a barcode in every page in a serial order like in first page it is 545001 in second page it is 545002 and in third page it is 545003 and so on. I want to automate a process sothat i can know that all the barcodes are in serial order or not. Or, I could know whether it is tempered or not.
    Please tell me. How i can do this using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe LiveCycle?
    Is there any features in acrobat or livecycle?
    Thanks,
    Manjeet

    It is an offline form.
    We are consuming the web service in Form to create a PR.
    However we also need the user to attach some documents before it actually clicks on the "Create PR" button.
    User can attach the file through "Attachments"  facility provided on Adobe Reader.
    Our problem is how to check whether user has attached the documents or not. If the documents are attcahed then how to read them using JavaScript?

  • SharePoint 2013 Document Conversion from PDF to Word (docx) format

    Hello all,
    I know that SharePoint has the facility to convert documents from Word to PDF using the Word Conversion Service, and I've worked with it in C# using the object model.
    We have a client request for the opposite process. They have an email-enabled document library that receives PDF documents...they would like these converted to Word (.docx).
    I'm believe that SharePoint 2013 Word Automation Service has no way to do this (although I could be wrong); and I'm not sure of the object model either. However, in Office Web Apps you can open a PDF file in the browser, and the form has a button labeled
    "Edit in Word". When selected, it shows a message: "Word Web App will make a copy of your PDF and convert it to a Word document for you to edit."
    Is there a way to access the SharePoint Office Web Apps object model/API in code, to do the same thing that the "Edit in Word" button does? It would be great to be able to hook into those methods, if possible.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Word 2010 table rendered reduced, upside down and backwards on conversion to pdf

    We have a Word 2010 document that includes a table, header and footer and a title paragraph with a border.
    When we convert this to pdf using Word's Acrobat -> Create PDF function, we get this (converting via Print -> Adobe PDF works fine however).
    Here is the above at 400% magnification.
    I thought I had seen all the curveballs Word 2010 and Adobe Pro X could throw but this is a new one on me. If anyone can tell me how or why the body of this document is reduced to illegibility, positioned at the top left corner of the page, upside down and backwards on pdf conversion I would be forever in their debt. (I have a couple of "accessibility experts" telling me this du to "odd code" and I would very much like to confirm that neither of them could find their own bottom with both hands.)

    I am assuming you did this with the Create PDF button. Give the print to the Adobe PDF printer a try and see if you get the same thing. You could also try the MS PDF plugin. MS has done some strange things in OFFICE 2007 and 2010 that cause heartburn for PDF creation. How much is an Acrobat issue, I am not sure -- probably a bit of an issue from both companies.
