Cannot read datamatrix barcode

Hi,


Attached are a few samples with small but clear datamatrix barcodes on the right. With another barcode engine I have no problem reading these but with Aspose Barcode I don’t seem able to. Do I need any specific settings in order to recognize these?

Best Regards

Hi,


When uploading a tif to this online barcode reader it is giving me the correct result:

I have also tested with Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules where I think KTM is using ABBYY finereader under te hood. Both are returning the correct result.

Best Regards

@ikke1234,

We have further investigated the issue. It was found that it is not a bug. It is Windows error. The TIFF file you have shared has JPEG compression (see "compressionJPEG.png"). This is an old compression format. This format is not supported on Windows 7 and above. Standard photo viewer is also not able to open this pictures (see "photoViewerError.png"). This error also exists with Windows XP. For detail, please visit the link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/885938/tiff-image-files-that-are-compressed-in-the-jpeg-format-cannot-be-corr.

It is proposed that you may use other compression like LZW. Please try the solution at your end and update us with your feedback.
