Barcode Font in reports

One of our reports has a number field in it and it shows up as bar code in the report as we have changed the font.
This report is working fine on Windows but for some reason it is not working on Linux server.
I have the font installed in Linux and I works fine by itself but it does not show up on the report.
Any help
Thanks in advance.

Thank You for the reply.
The Field is a number field, so I cannot see FILE FORMAT in the Property Inspector
Thanks.

Barcode fonts 128 and 39 "shrink" when exported to PDF

Hello,
Crystal reports recommends using either IDAutomation or Azalea barcode fonts for reports.
We are using IDAutomation. Both the 128 and the 39 encoded fonts work fine when
printing. However when we export to a PDF file the fonts "shrink" down to a tiny box and
are both un-scannable and nearly invisible.
At this point in time, does anyone know of any fonts that can be used in v.XI which can
be exported to PDF and be scannable? We are using the RDC and so are stuck with v.XI.
Is the highest service pack for R1 (I believe it is SP4) of any help with this issue?
If you know if answers to the above are negative please respond anyway.
Also, I you know of any threads which deal with the "incredible shrinking font" issue,
please mention them.
Thank you,
Joe

HI, Joe;
The previous post was for the incorrect verison of Crystal Reports from what you are using.
Have a look at this Note referring to Crystal Reports XI R1:

Embed fonts(Barcode) while generating Reports in PDF

Hi Everyone,
I have browsed through the similar topics and found that many have the opinion that embeding the fonts in Reports is not possible. But What if there is a report in PDF with a number in Barcode font to be mailed to a destination which does not have the font installed on the PC. Fonts cannot be sent across as they are protected by copyright. Thousands of recipients cannot be asked to buy the font.
Please help me with a work around.
Thanks

hello,
starting with 9i, oracle reports is able to embed fonts into PDF files. it uses font subsetting to add the font definitions used in the particular file to the file itself, so you can display the document although you might not have the fonts installed.
at the moment (in 6i) this feature is not there. a way around that yould be to use adobes PDFwrite to produce the PDFs. it is also able to embed fonts into the document.
regards,
the oracle reports team

Crystal Reports 2008 Barcode font not exported to any format

Hi,
I am creating a report that will use IDAutomationC128XXL barcode font (GS1 standard). I have downloaded and installed this font in my machine. I use the Visual Basic UFLs (IDAutomationFontEncoderUCC128()) to convert my content to barcode. I also have changed the field's font to IDAutomationC128XXL (by right click and field formatting). After this, i am able to see the barcode created in the my report preview. However when i try to export my report to PDF or any other format, the barcode is not coming up. It comes empty when i export to PDF.
Am i missing any step to print barcodes in PDF during export from crystal report?

Hi Sankara,
Licensed fonts are Not exported to PDF.
You should get in touch with IDAutomation's support and ask what are the alternatives.

Adding Barcode Font, Other PDF reports complete in warning

Hello guru's,
I am needing assistance with a barcode font problem that I am having. We have followed instructions on Tim's blog about adding barcode fonts but the concurrent program completes in a 'warning' status.
Also, other reports that were developed in Word that are getting output to PDF format are also completing with a warning(even though they have no Barcode Font on them). When I try to view the output through EBS it will not let me view it(though it will let us print the report to a post-script printer with a pdfTOps printer driver).
Interestingly enough, when we remove the Font Mapping(which was done at a site level) all the reports without barcodes complete successfully and can be viewed through EBS(and the report with the barcode font completes in a warning). So my question is, why does this happen and how do I fix the issue? It appears as though the Font Map which we created is not allowing the predefined fonts in XML publisher to work properly?
Thanks in advance!!!

Which version of XML Publisher are you in? You might have to install a patch for bar code to show up on PDF outputs.
Please take a look at metalink note: 373377.1 (in the bottom of this document, please see the patch info along with error info).

Barcode Fonts not showing in BIP reports in PDF format in Siebel Remote

Hi,
We have successfully setup the PDf report with Barcode fonts in Siebel Web Clinet. Now we are trying to setup the report in Siebel Mobile clinet. We did the following tomake it work in mobile clinet.
1) Copied the font file i.e. .ttf file in C:\Windows\fonts folder
2) Copied the font file i.e. .ttf file in C:\JRE Lib fonts folder
3) Updated the XDO.cfg file with details of the font
4) Copied the XDO.CFG file in mobile client XMLP\Templates folder
But the font doe snot show in dedicated or Mobile clinet. It shows the data in regular text in PDF. Please let me know if I have missed any step.
Thanks,
Sachin

Rafael,
did you try and re-install acrobat reader. If acrobat reader has a plugin then this installs automatically in the browser and will be used. I think - since you say that it worked on other systems - that it is the browser not knowing what to do with the pdf mimetype.

Using barcode font with distributed reports?

Hi
We have designed a report that uses the barcode font Code39AzaleaRegular3 that is supplied with Crystal Reports 2008. We use third-party software that incorporates a 'Crystal viewer' to allow users to run Crystal reports without having Crystal Reports installed on their computers. My question is whether we can install the Azalea fonts on these computers or would that violate any licensing agreement?

My question is whether we can install the Azalea fonts on these computers or would that violate any licensing agreement?
- You can not install the Azalea fonts as installed on your development system. Unfortunately at this time there is no CR MSM or MSI that includes the fonts. This issue is being tracked under TE 5000082393. New MSM and MSI files will be release with Service Pack 3 for CR 2008 (mid June estimated).

Anyone suggests a barcode font paid/free that really works with Crystal Report?

Hi fellow B1 Users,
I am having difficulty producing a print of crystal label report that produces barcodes which can be scanned.
It seems like I have not been lucky getting barcode fonts and its dimensions (size with height and width) right so it can be scanned by simple
barcode scanners.
Anyone got their crystal label to be scan-able?
Please suggest.
Thank you,
Syed

Hi Gordon,
Good to see you still active in SAP B1 forums.
I tried fonts such as CCode39.
However, I got lucky this time, the font IDAutomationHC39M worked for me, size 18.
Did not have to do much setting on barcode scanner though I have done it before
Thank you.

Barcode Fonts. Ok on Linux, not on Windows

Hi all.
I need to print a PDF (or even HTML) report, which uses a barcode font. I placed the TTF fonts under reports/fonts, and included on the REPORTS_PATH. Installed the fonts on the client machine.
On a Linux server, it works (the report prints correctly). But on a Windows Server, the font is not recognized. Output as PDF or HTML, the results are the same.
What am I missing? The reports version is 11.1.2.
OEL 5.8 and Windows 7 32 bits.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Is it a new Font installed recently ?
Do you know if the Windows has been rebooted since the font has been installed ?
Regards

Barcode Fonts in Oracle AS 10g

Hello.
I've an forms application, that initiali has been developed to work on Oracle AS 10g Windows. It has a TTF barcode font, but the reference there has been made with the windows font name. I've tryed to mapped it in uifont.ali in linux, but with no sucess. When running the form (that creates a report), the max i've archived is to make the font name (linux) apear in the document fonts properties, but no barcode apears in the document. The oracle developer reports builder recognizes the font, but when generating the report, no barcode apears...
does anyome has managed to create reports with barcode fonts in linux?
Thanks in advance

Uifonts.ali/barcode font aliasing on Solaris

Hello folks..
I'm running Oracle Reports 10g on a Solaris box. I am needing to print barcodes on PDF reports I generate. I have installed a TrueType font on my Windows box called Code39Azalea.ttf and did the same thing on the Solaris box.
On the Solaris side the font was installed using font administrator and the font works fine, same goes on the Windows side.
I created a plain jane report with some text in it "*12345*" and used the Code39Azalea.ttf font. In preview it looks like a barcode as it should. When I run the report on the web I just see the text "*12345*" and not the barcode.
In uifonts.ali located in /export/home/10gproduct/guicommon/tk/admin, in the PDF section I created the following:
Code39Azalea = code39azalea
No barcode. I even changed it to equal times and various other fonts and it seems as though its not picking up the change. Yes I did restart the jobs to make sure the alias file is being picked up.
What should I set the alias to?
Code39Azalea = ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
What is the font name used in the PDF file ?
(Search for /BaseFont in the PDf file
Example :
/BaseFont /Helvetica-BoldOblique
The font name specified at the left of the equal sign must be the font name after the font aliasing. To find this font name, generate a HTML output (DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=/tmp/fontname.html DESFORMAT=HTML) and check the font name used in the HTML output

How to add a barcode font for use in Web Intelligence (WebI) XIR2 and 3x?

Anyone have the steps to add a barcode font to WebI XIR2 and 3x? Not finding a good KBase on it and was also wondering if there any "gotchas" in terms of printing and exporting to .pdf.
Thanks.

Hi Kevin,
Also, if the solution provided in the previous post doesn't helps you then try the following solution.
Following are the steps to apply barcode font (IDAutomationHC39M):
1) In Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder:
-- C:\Windows\Fonts
2) On the File menu click Install New Font then browse to the font you want to install.
3) Edit the properties on the fonts you have just added:
In the "Embedding" tab, you should get a property like "Preview & Print embedding allowed".
But, nothing related to a license limitation regarding the embedding, else, you will not be allowed to use the added fonts in PDF or XLS generation.
4) Once the above points have been done:
-- Copy the .ttf fonts you want to use in the following XIR2 folder:
<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib\fonts
5) Add the following entries into the fontalias.xml file, which is in the following folder:
<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\fonts
The template looks like the following one:

<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="ttf" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M (IDAutomationHC39M)">
<FONTATTRIBUTE BOLD="false" ITALIC="false" LOGICAL="IDAutomationHC39M" PHYSICAL="IDAutomationHC39M.ttf"/>
</FONTFAMILY>
<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="win" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="java" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="html" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>

6) Add the following entries into the u2018i18n.xmlu2019 file, which is in the following folder:
<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\scripts
You have different sections in this i81n.xml file.
-- Under the first section
<I18N>
<FontFinder>

u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
</ FontFinder>
< FontFinder2>

u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
</ FontFinder2>
-- Under the u2018font_aliasingu2019 section
<font_aliasing>
<T1>
u2026u2026u2026u2026.
</T1>
<TTF>
u2026..

<os type=u201Dallu201D>
<Attributs style=u201D0u201D filename=u201DIDAutomationHC39M.ttfu201D encoding=u201Du201D aliaspsname =u201CIDAutomationHC39Mu201D/>
u2026
</os>
</TTF>
7) Save the both files.
8) Restart the Businessobjects servers or local computer.
9) Login in to infoview and create a new web intelligence report by using the Java Report Panel or Html Report Panel;
10) In the left pane, select the "Cell Format Properties": you will notice that an entry "IDAutomationHC39M" has been added into the font dropdown list.
Just test the above u2018IDAutomationHC39Mu2019 barcode font, at your end and update me with the results.

Sarbhjeet Kaur
