kwinsley Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi, I have a client asking me to generate labels with a UPCE1 barcode on them. I've found the UPCA that is included in my FusionPro Desktop, but I don't see a method to generate a UPCE1 barcode. Does that functionality exist in more recent versions or is there a neat JavaScript way that I can accomplish it in my version? The important information: I'm running FusionPro Desktop 5.0P1b in Acrobat 6.06 on XP Pro. Thank you! Kurt Winsley K&A Consulting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSweet Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi Kurt, I don't know a whole lot about transforming one programming language to another, but I've found a site that contains scripts for VisualBasic and C#. It also has a bit of an explaination about what UPC-E1 is. Try this link... http://www.devexpress.com/Help/?document=XtraReports/CustomDocument2757.htm&levelup=true Hope it helps. Good Luck .

Dan Korn Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't know a whole lot about transforming one programming language to another, but I've found a site that contains scripts for VisualBasic and C#. It also has a bit of an explaination about what UPC-E1 is. Try this link... http://www.devexpress.com/Help/?document=XtraReports/CustomDocument2757.htm&levelup=true Thanks for that suggestion. Unfortunately, though, that sample code simply calls that third-party vendor's proprieatary barcode generation utility, which appears to be a .NET assembly, so "porting" that code to JavaScript in a FusionPro rule won't do you any good at all. In order to generate the barcode in FusionPro, you would need to come up with the algorithm to generate the characters in a barcode font (such as the "IDAutomationUPCEANM" font which is installed with FusionPro) and write that in JavaScript. This algorithm isn't currently included in FusionPro. So, your options at the moment are: (1) contact Sales and ask about either an enhancement to a future version of the product to support this barcode format, or some paid Consulting work to provide the algorithm, or (2) find the UPC-E specification and come up with a JavaScript generation algorithm on your own. I would start by consulting these specifications: http://www.idautomation.com/barcode/UPC-E.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code#Zero-compressed_UPC-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
