GS1 characters in PDF417 barcode format

Hi,
I need to use PDF417 with GS1 Auto Identifiers for printing Barcode. Is it possible to use this symbology for GS1?
Let me know the approach to go ahead with this requirement.
Thanks

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.

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.

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?

Capturing serial numbers in 2D barcode format

Hi All,
I'm working on capturing serial numbers in 2D barcode format using RF unit but it only taking 11 serial numbers from 30 serial numbers in 2D barcode. Is there any limitation on number of characters that system can take at one time?

Hi,
what is the path level of your sap console. if you are using the old one the maximum is 231. check in market place and update. it can accept up to 1024.

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.

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).

More than 255 Characters in 2D barcode

Hi All,
We are not able to print more than 255 characters in a 2D barcode which
is used in a label using a smartform.
We did Checked note 497380 but cant use SO10 as its a dynamic data.
Any pointers would be extremely useful.

This is how i get the text with format (line feeds).
zz_description is type string.
My table is on a page, wrapped in a subform. and zz_description is type text field.
Yes, i maintained "allow multiple lines" and did not limit length somehow.
The problem arises in portal, pressing the preview button of a zform. providing a string <255 characters of length, everything works fine.

Reading of accented characters in US-ASCII format in Exchange 2010

I finished a migration from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
I have one unsolved problem. An internal application generates and sends automatically reporting mails using the US-ASCII format through an anonymous Exchange 2010 Receive connector. This connector was configured following the Microsoft recommandations (article
"Allow Anonymous Relay on a Receive Connector",
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232021(printer).aspx).
The problem is that accented characters like "é", "è" or "à" are converting in "?" when the reporting mails arrive in the user mailboxes in Exchange 2010.
I made the following test :
1. When I generate from the shell in Powershell a mail in US-ASCII format, the accented characters are converted to ?
$encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII
Send-MailMessage -To '[email protected]' -Subject 'Test' -Body 'Test mail avec des é è à et @' -SmtpServer '172.16.3.55' -From
'[email protected]' –encoding $encoding
2. When I generate from the shell in Powershell a mail in UTF7 format, the accented characters remains unchanged in the mailbox :
$encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF7
Send-MailMessage -To '[email protected]' -Subject 'Test' -Body 'Test mail avec des é è à et @' -SmtpServer '172.16.3.55' -From
'[email protected]' –encoding $encoding
Is there a solution to keep the accented characters without changing the US-ASCII message format in the reporting application ?
Best regards,
Pascal

hi,
I think it is by design.
In an Exchange Server 2010 organization, content conversion is handled by the categorizer on a server that has the Hub Transport server role installed. Categorization on each message happens after a newly arrived message is put in the Submission queue. In
addition to recipient resolution and routing resolution, content conversion is performed on the message before the message is put in a delivery queue.

Strange characters in azalea barcode

I have azalea barcode I2of5 in a crystal report 2008 sp2 report that show strange characters such as paragraph symbols in barcode image.
See the image:
[[http://i39.tinypic.com/eqpjbp.jpg]]
The OS is win7 64bits
What's wrong is going on?

Hello,
This is a known issue with Microsoft's GDIPlus dll, We can't fix it. Try updating your Video drivers and/or change your DPI settings, may help.
CR - ADAPT01538982
Only other option is to try a different True Type Barcode font, don't use the Convert to Barcode in the UI, just simply set the fields font to the TT barcode font.

Special characters in XML barcode content

Hello,
I made a barcoded form with a custom script that creates a custom XML as barcode content.
The decoding happens well when the user write plain text in the text fields, but whenever it inputs some special characters (for XML syntax), like ",<,>,=,etc... the content of barcode it is decoded as:
<barcode>
<!CDATA[... true content ...]>
</barcode>
how can I handle this situation?
I have to handle what the user writes or I have to change the decode activity?
Thank you very much for your support!
Fabio

Steve,
I have already encoded decode operation in UTF-8. In form level, because it is an acrobat form, no option to choose the encoding as in LC Designer. In further tests, if I change the extractToXML output to XDP instead of XFDF, then I will receive data rather than &# sequence. It is strange. Don't understand why XDP and XFDF would give out different encoding.
