QR Barcodes?

[Kim]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone used QR barcodes in a project yet?

Is it as easy as just choosing a QR font for a field? <she asked hopefully>

Or do you have to generate specific code or a graphic?

 

thanks,

kim

Based on these two older threads:

2D Barcodes

QR code

I don't think FP offers QR support yet. Due to the nature of a QR barcode (2D), I don't know that it would be as simple as assigning a font to your data <he states doubtfully>. I'm guessing that you would have to generate your codes as graphics outside of FP first and then import them as graphic resources.

According to IDAutomation you should be able to generate a string and place this in your data (using one of their techniques in the link below) and then apply a font.

They also have a canned application that generates barcodes.

We attempted QR codes months ago but without paying developmental fees, Printable was unwilling to integrate our QR application to work within the retail environment. Our store has been set up.. just waiting on Printable to catch up with the times.
