How to generate barcode from text field in adobe form???

Avatar

Level 1

hello everyone,

I'm new in this forum and I hope that there are people who can answer my question.
I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I have converted a Word template to a PDF template and everything works fine.
I would like to generate a barcode of the contents of a text field (by the users), for example the following format 0123-A123456-11.
I have tried in various ways but it has not worked. The barcode becomes unstructured and unreadable.
Does anyone know how to do it step by step?

Best regards!

Hi,

You can insert dynamic barcodes into your form using LC Designer. 

You should do a search here as dynamic barcodes has been covered by by Steve Walker in detail. For example:

BARCODE 128 - possibility of binding 2 data fields to the barcode

Paperforms barcodes

Using Barcode in Acroforms

However one thing to bear in mind is that dynamic barcodes will not work in Reader unless the form has been Reader enabled using LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product. Option 4 in this summary:

Good luck,
