Reader extensions and 2d bardcode

[neptas]

Hi,



If I´m not wrong, even with the licence for 2d barcoded forms, one will always need reader extensions, right? I believe one can purchase only the part of reader extensions needed, or this funcionality is bought when we pay for the 2D barcoded forms?



Thank you

Not exactly, you only need Reader Extensions along with Barcoded Forms if the client filling the form is using Reader (not Acrobat) and you are using a 3rd party decoder, not the Adobe one.



Yes, the part of Reader Extensions specific to Barcoded Forms can be purchased along with Barcoded Forms.

I have a presentation that I put together on this topic:

With version 7.x of LiveCycle you do not need to purchase Reader Extensions if you only require Barcoded Forms.



If you do not purchase Reader Extensions at the same time as your Barcoded Forms purchase you will be provided with a "Bundled" version of Reader Extensions that ONLY allows the plain-text decoding of the Barcode technology on your PDF form.
