Barcoded forms using Adobe Reader

[Raja_King]

Hi,

As previous discussion started by me, we have developed a Barcoded form for our work process.

It's use to be succesful filling & editing barcoded form with Adobe Acrobat reader 9.3 after we license the form in Livecycle.

But just know the reader fails to read the barcoded form.

After the user fills details on the form, the barcode field dissapear from the screen (blank grey spot).

Is this because of another licensing process needed? Or it is only a technicality problem.

Thanks & regards,

Raja

Raja,

If the amount of data you are attempting to encode in a barcode exceeds the barcode's data capacity, the barcode will turn grey.

I have the same problem as Raja. And it does not help to reduce the amount of information in the barcode. The barode field stil turns gray in Adobe Reader 9.

The strange thing is that there are no problems when I open and fill out the form in Adobe Reader 7.
