PDF bar codes guide

This list shows the supported barcode types:

These bar codes are inserted in the report via the bc$ function. See the Infor ERP LN programmers guide.

The options set in bc$ are not supported, because a different library is used. Instead of the dlSoft, the java4less bar code generation library is used.

The bar codes can be adjusted/tweaked through the PDF.properties file. For example, changing the bar color, changing the font, and changing the bar code width for all bar codes, can be done by setting this property:

BARCODE=barColor=#FF0000;X=20;textFont=Arial-BOLDITALIC-70;leftMarginCM=100;

You can change a specific bar code. For example changing the bar color for all EAN13 bar codes by specifying this property:

EAN13=barColor=#0000FF;

You can change a specific bar code for a specific report. For example, changing the bar color for all EAN13 bar codes in report whwmd543001000 can be done by specifying this property:

whwmd543001000.EAN13=barColor=#222222;

All properties that can be set on the different bar codes can be found on this website:

http://www.java4less.com/barcodes/BarcodesGuide.pdf.

By default, these properties are set by the converter:

• resolution=1
• barHeightCM=150
• leftMarginCM=0
• topMarginCM=0
• X=5 (For PDF417 this value is 10)
• N=2
• postnetHeightShortBar=50
• postnetHeightTallBar=150
• textFont=Arial-NORMAL-35
