2D Barcode programming


Impressive

Recommended Posts

I am trying to find the programming for a 2D barcode to pull random sheet counts. We have it working for jobs that have identical sheets counts (e.g. - pulls 2 sheets every time from the pdf file using starting digits of 02 in the 2D barcode). We now have a job where the sheet count ranges from 2 - 4 sheets and in random order - order such as 2-2-2-3-4-3-2-4-4-3.....so we are looking to program the 2d barcode to change based on sheet counts.

You can get the number of pages in a record by calling FusionPro.Composition.totalPages. You can format it to two digits by using the FormatNumber function:

var pgs = FormatNumber('00', FusionPro.Composition.totalPages);
// Whatever barcode logic here

You mention sheets, so I assume you're using imposition. Therefore, you probably want to do something similar to the QR barcode rule in this example:

http://forums.pti.com/showpost.php?p=11530&postcount=3

return MakeQRBarcodeGraphic(FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetNumber +
   (FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetIsBack ? "b" : "f") + "/" +
   FusionPro.Composition.impositionTotalSheets);

The example in that other post also demonstrates how to use a custom imposition sheet background, which would be the logical place to put such a barcode.
