Hi All,

I have a client that needs to print barcodes and save them to a pdf.  Once saved, I need to email the pdf.  Does anyone have experience with this?  Can I do this from the DB Report Designer ?  If not, how are you doing it?

THanks,

Rick

Rick,

We have placed barcodes on a PDF before.  It really depends on how the PDF is created.  We used a barcode font then just print the data in the barcode.  If I remember correctly, there are some free barcode fonts available.

Thanks Dick,

Others have told me this also.  I am now looking for barcode fonts.

Hi Dick,

Do you remember the free font that worked for you?

Rick,

I remember that it is Barcode 39.  Try https://www.dafont.com/code39.font.  I think that will work for you.

Hi Dick,

I don't think this will help me.  I think I need web enabled barcode fonts as DB uses html and css to build the report.

Does anyone on this list have experience with printing barcode with DB ReportDesigner?

Thanks,

Rick

I don't have to print them from the ReportDesigner.  If anyone knows of a third party tool that I can call from a DB subroutine that will generate the PDF and then save it to a location that I can get at, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks,

Rick

PrintWizard. It's a no-brainer and generating PDF's is trivial.

Hi Rick,

We use mvpdf which is a good product. It Comes with its own page designer with barcode and data matrix capability.

Hi all,

We have decided on PrintWizard.  It does exactly what we need it to do.  Not expensive and really great support.

Thanks for all of your suggestions,

Rick
