Space Issue in-between Bar code and value in Samrtform

Former Member — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 07:05:08 GMT

Hi Gurus,

There was a Smart from where Bar code should come first and Value next(side by side) as below (In Screen 1) :

Screen 1 .

But for me when testing there was a lot of gap/space in-between the two values as shown below ( In Screen 2).

Screen 2 .

The fields in Smart form Text Element are placed side by side as below ( In Screen 3) .

And BC is a Character Bar code in styles and A1 is default character style , A2 is Paragraph Formats in styles.

The length of GS_Doc-fablinecode is Char with length 4.

Screen 3.

I am not getting why their is a lot of Space in-between the Bar code and value (as shown in screen 2).

Please help me to solve this.

Thank you so much .

Regards

Abhinav Nallani.

Hi,

it's because you used a barcode with large number. If you barcode is something like 20 characters. When you write 1135 the program lets the empty space corresponding to the 16 characters you didn't wrote.

Simple solution is to write first the number, second the barcode.

Or to write the number behind the barcode

I'm not sure you could right justify a barcode ..

regards

Fred

Hello Abhinav,

Usually barcode will occupy some empty space after it displays (not sure why it is ) and displays the data after that space.

For your requirement to achieve..

You can use template or table line with defined column lengths for each data to be displayed.

Display barcode in one column and data in another column.

Hi Abhinav

Please write number first and then bar code. It usually because of empty characters

Hi Abhinav,

1) Check the fonts

2) Check the length of the fields

Hi Abhinav,

The Barcode format that you have shown here both could be of different types may be that's the reason, please try with other available barcode formats for the corresponding character format.

Try PDF417,

CODE128,

for Barcode formats!

Please mark the thread as answered If you have found the solution and also Pls share the solution so that it will be useful for others with same issue.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions.

@Fred: Your reply helped alot. From your reply I concluded that the issue is with the length of Barcode.

@playsuji s: Your reply helped in my case. But I believe this will not work in all the cases where the length variation is more.

@nabheet, madhu, santhosh: thanks all.
