Printing QR-Code barcodes in SAP smartforms

[#1]

Hi,

Is it possible to print QR-Code barcodes in SAP smartforms using system barcode font? Can anybody please let me know the font settings for QR-Code in SE73 font maintenance?

A sample QR-Code lablel can be found [here|http://images.orkut.com/orkut/albums2/ATUAAADhaahG5MxsqQ66lcSO9oHRWD3X8zh7yv1kEakKwMtVHchChN1WfZlM__2D0_o8H7AS4_UaTTCymQQtvXHb9-q3AJtU9VCWnzkZ4gC1sVnCekVuQ90qmhzeMw.jpg].

Hi Milan,

I'll blog in SDN about my research that I presented at TechEd during session CD119 (blog) but I'll begin sharing with you some ideas.

Basically, without relay on any printer specific driver I would propose to follow the following steps:

1.Generate the QR Code image file (.PNG) with one of the methods presented in the following pages

2.Upload the image into the SAP system

2.1 Convert the generated file (file.png) to TIFF using SAP IGS class CL_IGS_IMAGE_CONVERTER (see GRAPHICS_IGS_IMGCONV_DEMO)

2.2.Upload. Use report RSTXLDMC to upload the image into SE78

3.Include the image into the Form:

3.1.SAPScript/:INCLUDE ZHEX-MARCO-name OBJECT TEXT ID ST

If everything is clear, the missing point should now be the first one. To generate the PNG from ABAP I found some options if you like, the better I think is presented in my open source project called abap2qrcode published here http://code.google.com/p/abap2qrcode/.

I know it's not trivial and I'm curious to know what do you think about it.

A good way to do it is using the barcode Writer in Pure Postscript developed by Robert Russell. The blog entry is quite detailed and well documented
