Create and Retrieve Barcode?

Hello,

I am trying to find a method of creating a barcode for use in a custom java application against a 6.5sp1 repository. I have been researching how to use the Forms Builder Hi-Fi form template to generate a PDF 417 format barcode bound to the form data, but am completely unsure how we would pre-populate the form data. The data does not yet exist in the repository, so using the Adapters model doesn't seem to provide what we need (at least from what I have read).

So, I have three questions:

1. Is there a way to pre-populate the form fields to generate the barcode (maybe POST the data to the form from the previous page?)

2. Is there a way to generate and retrieve the barcode using DFC/DFS given the inputs?

3. Any other way?

Thanks for the help!

I used iText and no longer need this solution, thanks.

You can try to embed a Java Barcode Generator library to your IDE.It's paid, but free trial could be downloaded.

For this problem, it is a little difficult to explain, you can go and find some barcode generator info in java.

So many questions, you are a good learner. Well, I think you'd better go to some professional providers' website about barcode generating and reading to find answers. I am not a long-term users just like you in barcode generating.

As for myself, I used to generate PDF 417 barcode with the help of another Barcode Generator SDK. It is just one of many but I do appreciate its simple way of processing. Even though I only tried its free trial package to generate barcodes and didn′t check the cost and licensing conditions, it works great for me. Besides, this barcode site gives a lot of tutorials for barcode generating. Share with you. Good luck.
