Sap Script , Barcode and Pdf

Former Member — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 21:47:36 GMT

I have a issue regarding the barcode conversion from sapscript to pdf format.

I was successful in generating a program that will convert my whole script to pdf. But the problem is... I'm getting a small annotation over the barcode in the pdf, when i roll my mouse over the barcode it displays the PO number. But the barcode looks same for all the PO numbers..:( Where am I wrong??

When i print the sap script I require the printer to be configured for printing the barcode.

Do i require any other configurations for converting barcode from sap script to pdf?

Thanks in advance

Hi Renu

Bar codes do not print on PDF without some special software. SAPScript is simply sending the po number as a different font that the printer recognises as a bar code font.

I am guessing that to be able to get barcodes in a PDF document the bar code needs to be converted to a graphic like a bmp or jpeg. PDF documents from SAPscript are character based using vectors and fonts.

In our system, the PDF contains a barcode that is not readable. Only printed forms can be scanned.

I hope this helps.

Michael.
