Problem with barcode field using Aspose PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,

I have a few problems when try to fill-up a barcode filed in PDF template using latest version of Aspose PDF for .net (latest version).­ Please see list below:

1. FDF, XFDF, XML imports does not update barcode field.

2. If I change value of field using form.FillBarcodeField it dose update barcode value but barcode looses it’s face and reset from Ssymbology type MacroPdf417 to very regular Code 128 when I save form.

3. When open saved form Message appears – “ This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available”.

I found on you forums that id Use same file when creating form message does not appears. It is really so.

But main problem is lost face of barcode. Cal you please make any suggestion how to fix this problem or investigate this case

Thank you very much

Best Regards,


Michael Narski

Hi Micheal,


Thanks for sharing your source PDF form. I am afraid currently you can fill barcode field with barcode 128 only. If you want to use other Barocde types then You might consider creating a Barcode image using Aspose.BarCode and then adding that image to the field as following. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish the task.

Document pdfDocument
= new Document(myDir+“Final+Report2.pdf”);<o:p></o:p>

//get a field

TextBoxField textBoxField = pdfDocument.Form["BarcodeFinalReport"] as TextBoxField;

//modify field value

//textBoxField.Value = "Value to be filled in the field";

System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(myDir + "barcode.jpg");

textBoxField.AddImage(img);

//save updated document

pdfDocument.Save(myDir+"output_barcode.pdf");

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Hi There,


Thank yo very much for your quick investigation. It just confirms our concern.
Unfortunately documents provided by our third party partners. It is not a good idea to change document which don’t own. Perhaps we need to talk to our partners see if they agree to do such modification.
Thank you very much anyway.
