Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 - Barcoded Forms Changes

[Former Community Member]

For those of you that have upgraded to Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 you should notice that there are a few changes to the Paper Forms Barcode object interface.



On the Field tab you will see that the label may be generated automatically or manually which before could only be generated automatically. The most significant change may be found further down in the new Symbology pull-down menu. Not only can Barcodes be generated in the PDF417 format, but now you can take advantage of both QRCode and DataMatrix. Depending on the region as well as vertical will probably decide which format you will be using on your forms but it may be worth experimenting with different symbologies and data capacities based on the data of your forms to see if there may be a better alternative.



On the Value tab you will find a slight change to the automated scripting. Tab-delimited and XML may still be generated automatically but you now have the option to select whether or not you would like to include the field names and labels. The Include Field Names separates the field names by tabs and encodes them as the first line of the barcode contents. The values are encoded beneath them. Include Label encodes the label (shown in Field tab) as the first tab-delimited field in the barcode contents. This is a great way to include a form identifier as a standard in your data (a good best practice). Keep in mind that when using the default tab-delimited formats the Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms Decoder can create XML from tab-delimited data automatically which saves some time on the back-end integration effort.



Again on the Value tab there is another new drop-down field named Collection. For those of you familiar with the Barcoded forms interface of Acrobat, you were able to select the fields that you wanted to be encoded in the barcode without having to do any custom scripting. The Collection interface basically provides you with the same functionality but under a great tree-view interface that allows you to manage the data that goes into your Barcode very easily, again, without custom Scripting.

I am receiving the following error when I deploy the xdp form onto the adobe form server 6.0.
