JerryD Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Barcode CF or calculation to print barcode39, no special fonts, no plug-ins. Folks, please do me a favour, print one page sample on laser printer and then scan to check the result. I would like to know if this technique works with different scanners. You are free to use it in your solutions. Thank you Barcode39.fp7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies vbfj Posted February 20, 2006 Newbies Share Posted February 20, 2006 I am a Novice user. Need Help! I have two files. Stock file and Transactions file.

comment Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Transcoding characters to a code seems quite trivial to me - didn't know it required research. In any case, cjaeger is using container fields, while I was referring to the rotated field trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryD Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 What are you saying? Graphic containers did not do the job for me. Using typeface was the only way. In filemaker there is no way to set character width but no problem to do height. So, isn't obvious to rotate 90/270 degrees? Or should i put $99.00 tag on ONE calculation field?

stanley Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Jerry: Using an HHP 3800 on Mac OSX 10.3.9 straight into the Forum's Reply Box, it works fine: ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQ STUVWXYZ 1234567890 -+$%/. CODE 3 OF 9 BACODE FM FORUM. Nice Job. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Phil Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I downloaded this and B Dunnings version of the same. In both of these examples although the text is set to align on the left they appear to print the barcode in the centre of a rather large box Is it possible to print the barcode further over to the left rather than in the centre? Thanks in advance Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The field is rotated, so you need to set text alignment to "Top" in order to move it to the left. Since the first character is a rather large "_", there always will be some distance from the border to the first bar - that is the space "above" the underscore.

cjaeger Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 !? Credit should go to cjaeger. My solution is based on his research... http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/67758/post/170706/hl/barcode/#170706 Thx for the credits. In the meanhile, I am using a selfmade font featuring only a 1px (null) white and a couple of 1px bars of different lengths. Then I wrote a couple of CFs for Code39, UPC, EAN13 and other 2D Barcodes - works perfectly. best thing - the font works (+ a javascript implementation of the code) with Acrobat PDF Form fields as used for faxing orders etc. The original Solution based on repeating fields still works in 8 and is preferred for CD-ROM runtimes.
