GS RS EOT in 2D PDF417 Barcode

Hi ,
We are printing 2D barcode on a Printronix printer.
Please let me know how to include GS, RS, EOT in my data for 2D barcode.
I must write the code
e.g. [)>RS06GSfield1GSfield2GSfield3GSfield4GSfield5RSEOT
in spool.
when i use hex 1E, 1D, ... i get an #
[,),>,RS,GS,EOT are all the special characters and all their hexadecimal codes are available.
What must i do?
Thanks

Confusion with the use of PDF417 Barcodes

I am trying to get clarification on what is required to utilize the Acrobat Designer to create a form that creates a PDF417 barcode. Here is the scenario:
We would like to create a form with Designer (bundled with Acrobat 7.0 Professional)that will be used as an index sheet for a document scanning system.
The form would contain one or more fields that a user would complete using the standard Acrobat 7.0 Reader that they can download from Adobe. When the user completes the data entry into the fields, they will print out the form (containing the 2D barcode (PDF417).
The form would be scanned and put through recognition software that is supposed to ready PDF417 2D barcodes.
I have read through the literature and have seen inconsistent representations regarding the ability of a user to use the Acrobat reader to complete the form and print it with the PDF417 barcode.
In one of the forum postings a user was told that they needed certain decoder software from Adobe or extensions.
I am not clear if the user filling out a form using Acrobat 7.0 reader, which generates the PDF417 barcode supposedly, can be read by an application which supports that barcode type. Or, if this is a special type of PDF417 barcode that has some additional attributes that requires special software from Adobe to be recognized.
Please explain how I accomplish the objective set forth above.

Mike,
It looks like I scanned over your email a little too quickly and missed a
VERY important point. You mention that your form will be "bundled with Acrobat 7.0 Professional". This is VERY important.
In fact, you will need to license nothing else from Adobe. You DO NOT need Reader Extensions because you are deploying Acrobat Professional on the work stations that will be filling in your forms. You do not need to "turn on" hidden functionality of the Free Reader if you are using Acrobat Pro. You already have all the functionality you need.
Second, when you fill in a Barcoded Form with Acrobat Professional the PDF417 Barcode that is rendered in your form will be a 100% standard PDF417 Barcode. But do not turn on compression. When filled in - in Acrobat - the Barcode is rendered so that it can be read by ANY Decoder that can read PDF417. However, if you enable compression you will need to use the Adobe Decoder. If you start decoding and see you are getting lower than a 99.9% decode rate, take a look at buying the Adobe Decoder. Not the whole "Barcoded Forms" license, just the Decoder.
Again,
if you are using Acrobat to fill in these forms, you have nothing else to buy. If you want to deploy these forms with the Free Reader then you will need to license Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms and possibly ARES.

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.

Bind XML data to PDF417 barcode - LiveCycle Designer ES

Trying to create a shipping form for a supplier that contains a PDF417 barcode. The source data will come from an XML data file. The form in not interactive, the data file will simply populate the pdf form, read-only via a Coldfusion program that queries our shipping data. But I'm not quite able to connect the dots. Does anyone know how to supply the data in the correct format within the XML doc? It consists of 5 fields / row, with 10 rows max. I'm unclear because the barcode software previously used embedded control chars within the data, such as record separators, group separators, and end of transmission. Do I need to include these for LiveCycle? As you've probably already guessed, yes, I do not use LiveCycle much at all.
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

There are a couple of ways to populate the barcode from Designer. First, is the manual coding method. In the "calculate" or (preferably) the "pre-print" event you change the .rawValue of the barcode object and change it to the value of the fields you wish to include. Alternatively there is a fairly good script generator built into designer that is accesible through the barcode object properties UI. Here you can have the content of the barcode auto-filled based on the entire form or selected fields in a collection. As a general rule of thumb: never select XML as your barcode data format and don't use the auto-generated code on a form with more than 30 or 40 fields.

Data to PDF417 Barcode

A software architect at my company found out that you can have data that are entered into fields within a form go automatically into one of these barcodes that you can place either near the field or on a page near the end of the form. I located the PDF417 barcode within the object library; however, I cannot seem to figure out how you attached field(s) so that the data goes into the barcode. Is this something that can be accomplished in Livecycle? If so, how?

PDF417 Barcode - Dynamic Page Number

Hi Experts,
Requirement is to code PDF417 barcode in all pages of the letter footer. Barcode data should contain page number & total page#. Number of pages can vary based on different scenarios.
Is there a way to implement this in 11.3?
(It was done in 12.2 with the help of post tran dal and field properties set to PDF417. But requirement is in an application which uses 11.3. And PDF417 is not available in 11.3 field properties.)
Thank you,
Sruthi

I figured it out thanks any way
If anyone looking for a solution for the same issue
he solution is as follows
create 3 numeric fields in the header of the table
total
counter 1
counter 2
the total is to count the number of pages of each document
in initialization event
total = total + 1 ;
the counter 1 is to make the counter of the pages from 0 to total (invisible)
in calculate event
if ( counter 1 < total ) then
counter 1 = counter 1 + 1 .
elseif( counter 1 >= total ) then
counter 1 = 1
counter 2 to show the page number of the document
in layout ready
counter 2 = 1
in calculate event
counter 2 = counter 1 + 1
Note: this is the logic with little modification create the code

PCL Escape Sequence for PDF417 barcodes

I have purchased the HP Laserjet Font Solutions (HP Part HG271US) for my HP Color LaserJet CP4020 Series printer so that I can create shipping labels with scannable barcodes for our customers. I am able to generate the PCL code and print out code 39 and code 128 barcodes. When I print out the PCL font list, it shows the escape sequences for the code 39 and code 128 barcodes. I need to print out pdf417 barcodes as well but I don't get any escape sequences on the PCL font list or a font ID for the pdf417 barcode.
Does anyone know what the escape sequence is for the PDF417 barcode when using the HP Laserjet Font Solutions (HP Part HG271US)?

A translation of your PCL snippet for Code 128:
<Esc>&a0P Print Direction: 0 degree rotation
<Esc>&a3R Cursor Position Vertical (row 3)
<Esc>&a0C Cursor Position Horizontal (column 0)
<Esc>(9Y Primary Font: Symbol Set (identifier = 9Y)
<Esc>(s1P Primary Font: Spacing: Proportional
<Esc>(s30V Primary Font: Height (30 points)
<Esc>(s0S Primary Font: Style (Upright, solid)
<Esc>(s0B Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
<Esc>(s28687T Primary Font: Typeface (identifier = 28687)
*VttbRackLabelInfo.SupplierCode*
Note that I've changed the "(s30v" to "(s30V" to comply with PCL syntax rules.
And a translation of your PDF417 snippet:
<Esc>&a0P Print Direction: 0 degree rotation
<Esc>&a8R Cursor Position Vertical (row 8)
<Esc>&a113C Cursor Position Horizontal (column 113)
<Esc>(9Y Primary Font: Symbol Set (identifier = 9Y)
<Esc>(s1P Primary Font: Spacing: Proportional
<Esc>(s50V Primary Font: Height (50 points)
<Esc>(s0S Primary Font: Style (Upright, solid)
<Esc>(s0B Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
<Esc>(sp Primary Font: Spacing: Fixed
b Primary Font: Stroke Weight: Medium
24850T Primary Font: Typeface (identifier = 24850)
*ttbRackLabelInfo.PCISegment15*
with the same correction as above; note also that you have specified (the same) stroke weight twice, and two different spacing attributes (the latest will apply).
It's possible that other values for some of these attributes may have non-standard interpretations by the font DIMM (e.g. to specifiy PDF417 error-correction level).

2D Barcode (PDF417) in Smartforms

Hi Gurus,
I have a Smartforms with 2D-Barcode (PDF417).
I have to use header, field separators and foot into the barcode ( [)>, RS, GS, EOT...).
I define these separators like this:
CONSTANTS:
c_head VALUE '\0X5B\0X29\0X3E',       " Complience Indicator
c_rs   VALUE '\0X1E',                 " Format Trailer Character
c_gs   VALUE '\0X1D',                 " Data Field Separator
c_eot VALUE '\0X04'.                 " Message Trailer
and then fill my barcode variable like this:
CONCATENATE
c_head c_rs '06'
c_gs '12SGTLVWAG01'
c_gs '2L'   gv_werk_empf
c_gs '1L'   label_data-ablad
c_gs        gv_license_plate
c_gs 'P'    label_data-kdmat
c_gs 'Q'    gv_vemng
c_gs 'B'    label_data-vhmku
c_gs 'V'    label_data-eikto
c_gs '12S' label_data-vbeln
*c_gs '1T'   label_data-charg
c_gs c_rs c_eot
INTO gv_pdf.
The problem is, when I scan my barcode I have the \ separator, and I can't delete it...
\06\12SGTLVWAG01\2L22\1L001X1\1JUN341382615100348063\P 0B1 200 345 E\Q1\B106925\V261988\12S0063397339\\
Any idea how I can delete this \ ?

SAP ABAP Code to Generate PDF417 Barcodes
Preparing SAP data to be printed as a linear barcode can be a pain at times; when 2D barcodes with proper field separators are required the pain factor goes up. Most of the problems come from trying to convince SAP to assign non-printing control characters to the output variable. So, I have written a small example which demonstrates both how to generate a PDF417 barcode and the steps required to assign special characters to a string in ABAP. SAPscript cannot handle 2D barcodes, so this code will only really work in SmartForms.
DATA: gv_pdf417 TYPE string,
      gv_date_old TYPE likp-wadat,
     gv_serial TYPE num9,
      gv_kdmat TYPE vwahn-kdmat,
      gv_meng TYPE char10,
     lf_masterorsingle TYPE char3,
      lf_hex_rs TYPE x LENGTH 4 VALUE '001E',
      lf_hex_gs TYPE x LENGTH 4 VALUE '001D',
      lf_hex_eot TYPE x LENGTH 4 VALUE '0004',
      lf_char_rs TYPE c,
      lf_char_gs TYPE c,
      lf_char_eot TYPE c.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <lfs_rs>,
               <lfs_gs>,
               <lfs_eot>.
WRITE is_wahn-wadat TO gv_date_old yymmdd.
WRITE is_wahn-exidv+11(9) TO gv_serial.
" Get non-printing control characters set
ASSIGN lf_hex_rs TO <lfs_rs> CASTING TYPE c.
ASSIGN lf_hex_gs TO <lfs_gs> CASTING TYPE c.
ASSIGN lf_hex_eot TO <lfs_eot> CASTING TYPE c.
lf_char_rs = <lfs_rs>.
lf_char_gs = <lfs_gs>.
lf_char_eot = <lfs_eot>.
" Master or single label
IF is_wahn-zzmastersingle = 'M'.
        lf_masterorsingle = 'M'.
ELSE.
        lf_masterorsingle = 'S'.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE
'[)>' lf_char_rs
'06' lf_char_gs
'P' gv_kdmat lf_char_gs
'Q' gv_menge lf_char_gs
'V' gv_lifnr lf_char_gs
'D' gv_date_old lf_char_gs
lf_masterorsingle gv_serial
lf_char_rs lf_char_eot
INTO gv_pdf417.
If all goes well, then the variable gv_pdf417 should contain a string like the one below (the characters in the angle brackets are the hex codes for the control characters). In SmartForms the variable should be output in a text area with using the PDF417 barcode character formatting (your basis team will have to install it if it is not already available). The barcode at the top of page is generated from the string below.

Enable paperforms barcode in reader

Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum or if this has already been answered (first time post). I've done extensive searching and reading and, despite many articles and posts related to the topic (here and other blogs) I can't get the answers I'm looking for - and can't seem to get an adobe representative to return a call.
I am an existing Adobe Acrobat Pro customer (group license - windows7 32/64b) looking to enable paperforms barcode extensions in reader. We are a relatively small shop and expect that we would add pdf417 codes to a handful of existing forms and expect returns from several hundred users. If I understand documentation correctly, licensing can be on a per-form basis or per-user basis. I do not expect that the per-form basis (max 25?) would be exceeded over several years.
I've designed a set of forms in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 with pdf417 barcodes and need to add whatever licensing is necessary to extend this functionality to Reader. We do not have, nor want to build out a full livecycle enterprise system/server/integration. I believe this is a bit of overkill for our needs. We have a decoding and data extraction workflow in place that satisfies the downstream data needs.
What I'd like to see is a licensing option that would allow us to extend paperforms barcodes to reader and continue to design forms in livecycle designer. If someone can point me in the right direction or an Adobe representative can contact me directly to discuss particulars that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

George,
Thanks very much for the response. I've contacted the datalogics folks and they've been very helpful (got a test version of pdfjt). I haven't actually built out a test for this (gonna do this today) but it seems like this would be more involved. Do you know if the datalogics extension key/certificate can be embedded in existing forms - without having to build the forms through the pdfjt? If this is how these sorts of tasks are accomplished - then I'll move in this direction but it does seem like one should be able to embed the key (even manually if needs be) without all the overhead of a server-based solution.
regards,

French accented characters in a barcode are being dropped when scanned by a handheld scanner

We have an issue when our pdf417 barcodes contain french accented characters é,à,è, etc and are scanned by a handheld scanner. As a result Montréal is decoded as Montral (the é is dropped). We are using the Datalogic PowerScan 7000 and a Motorola Symbol DS6608 handheld scanners. We currently have a ticket open with Datalogic.
The problem does not exist when the barcode is decoded by LC Barocded Forms.Decode.
Talking to someone, they indicated that this is pretty common with handhelds. However, I did find this old post from lee sutton http://forums.adobe.com/thread/332743 where he uses a keyboard wedge?
Has anyone had to deal with a similar issue (non-english chars) via handheld?
Can anyone recommend a handheld that does read non-eng characters without the wedge?
Is there something in the encoding from Designer that i can do?

When you're decoding with the hand-held scanner, you'll need to ensure that the decoder itself supports the scanning of extended characters AND if it's a keyboard-wedge scanner, ensure that your keyboard is in French or Canadian-French mode or the simulated typing won't happen.

Error with €-character in pdf417 bar code

Hey,
we have a problem with the Euro-Sign (€) in the bar code type pdf417. The encoding is set to "ISO-8859-15", but after creating the barcode and scan this, instead of the €-character the ?-character appears. Is this a bug in the encoding-routine? Or have we to set some special parameters?
Can anybody help?
Thanks!
Sygro

Assuming you are using the 2D PDF417 barcode, we do not support that character encoding. But, if you set the encoding to UTF-8, you should be able to scan the Euro symbol, assuming you scanner can read it.
We support the following encodings:
UTF-8
UTF-16
UCS-2
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-2
ISO-8859-7
Shift_JIS
KSC_5601
GB_2312
Big-Five

Barcode printing in dotmatrix

Hi,
I have been successful in printing barcode labels onto a laser printer. Also the laser printer has a codepage defined which can understand horizontal tab. The barcode is created by defining the code in se73 and then using it in smartstyles and finally passing in smartforms.
Offlate, I have been instructed to print barcode labels in dotmatrix (24 pin) printers, which I am not able to do so. I guess the code page that it uses may not be able to identify the string as barcode itself.
I hit upon another idea, to convert the smartform output to pdf based on the laser printer, and then print the pdf on the dotmatrix printer. Though it worked, the barcode doesn't get displayed in sharpl contrast, and hence doesn't get scanned by the scanner.
Any input on this please. Basic request is to print the PDF417 barcode onto a form with DOTMATRIX printer only.
Thanks,
Tom Jerry.

I think it is not possible to print barcode using dot matrix printer (not readable by scanner). Why not invest in Laser printer? the cost is quite cheap nowadays. However, I come across an article that might be useful to you, something to do with the printer settings:

Error in encoded data in 2D barcode

Hi, I have been met with a strange problem.
I have a form with a 2D barcode. The barcode is a pdf417 barcode and the character encoding is ISO-8859-1.
Often the field data include special characters as Æ – Ø – Å – Ü
Most of the time everyting is fine. But now and then (I guess one in a thousand) it seams that the encodeding of the special characters get wrong. e.i in the form field the data is ”Ørskov” but the barcode data says ”Ãrskov”. I have not been able to reproduce the error in house but I have seen a few on incomming forms in the last 6 month.
Where should I start troubleshooting? Has it anything to do with the client’s version or settings of Adobe Reader?
Is there anything I can do to prevent this error?
Regards,
Kirstine

I have now been able to reproduce the error. The data get encoded wrong when the form is filled out in Adobe Reader 8. (Or at least in Reader 8.2 which is the version I have for testing).
The easy way out for me would be to ask all the clients to upgrade Adobe Reader but that is not practically posible, as we have thousand of clients using this form.
Would it be posible to script my way out of this?
