Java API unexpected exception

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I'm using the Java API to decode a PDF417 Barcode on a TIFF file; I faced a couple of issues regarding security restrictions but now resolved.

Anyway, I still get the following exception at the line of calling "barClient.decode":

 

Dec 29, 2010 3:01:54 PM com.adobe.idp.DocumentManagerClient clientSidePush

Barcode 128C & control sequence

Hi there,

 

we have since today a problem with our barcode-forms.

We use barcode 128C as default and give it a combined string:

1234[CB]letters  12[CC]8974

 

Til yesterday all worked fine, since today, the barcode shows, if any, the first letter of the text. the rest is gone...

 

We need urgent help!

 

Thank you,

Sven

Inconsistent reading of 3 of 9 barcode from printed label.

$

I am filling a .pdf form from a aspx web page using iTextSharp. I created the .pdf using LiveCycle. The form contains a code 3 of 9 barcode that can be anywhere from 6 to 22 digits. The .pdf gets printed to a 4x6 label. The users are reporting that sometimes their scanner will read the barcode and sometimes it will not. The only difference I can see between barcodes is the length.

 

The barcode is 2.8 inch long. I have the data length set to 22(it can be 6-22 digits long), checksum is auto, and ratio is 2.2. It's a read only field and default is 0. Are these setting incorrect? I have tried different length, defaults, etc but no luck. Does adobe have some best practices for 3 of 9 bar codes?

 

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Ok. I am a dummy I admit it.

Can anyone help me create a 2d barcode on a form where the user actually fille in a text field and the value can be also used in the barcode?

Changing datamatrix properties

$

Hi,

 

I am pretty new to Adobe Forms and have the following problem:

 

I want to change the properties of a datamatrix barcode (it's not a paper form barcode), especially the number of segments. By default only 4 segments are created (at least if the content is not bigger). I tried to change it with a FormCalc-script, but couldn't manage to do it.

 

This is my code:

Code3.ui.#barcode.dataColumnCount = "1"

Code3.ui.#barcode.dataRowCount    = "2"

 

"Code3" is the name of the barcode, the values are just examples. I played around a lot with these values, but could not see any difference. I inserted the script at different events, all without any change:

 

initialize

layout:ready

form:ready

 

Can someone tell me where my mistake is? Or is the change of these properties not supported for datamatrix?

 

I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2 in an SAP-system.

 

Best regards,

Daniel

Barcode not displayed in Adobe Reader

Hello! Friends,

 

I have designed an adobe form using Livecycle ES3. The objective is to generate bar code after completing the form. Bar code gets generated in Livecycle.

 

But in Adobe Reader the bar code is generated only when the data is less. When the data is more then instead of bar code a grey bar is shown.

 

There are about 25 fields in the form. Tried this in Adobe Reader X (also tried in 9 & 8).

 

Any help/suggestion in this is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

QR Code capacity with fixed rendered size and dynamic data

$

There's a paper forms barcode and symbology is QR Code, layout is 46mm x 46mm, error correction level is M, module width is 0.592mm, and max capacity is Chinese(UTF8) x 88 or number x 627 or uppercase A x 380 or lowercase a x 263, and QR code renered size is about 30mm x 30mm when max capacity.

 

So, my question is, if I want to ALWAYS keep this QR code renered size is same as max capacity(30mm x 30mm), but my daya is dynamic and mix numeric, alphanumeric and byte mode, is there any formula to calculate how may character such as space should be appended?

 

thanks

Barcode Capacity

To provide more information on this question, here is a summary of what we are trying to achieve and the problems we are having & questions we have:

 

Background

* We have two different forms that we want to capture data using 2D barcodes.

* The intention is that the main form is completed & signed, given to the second party who then fills out their form and faxed together to a central server.

* It is critical for us that we capture the form data via the same channel as the physical signature & electronic signatures are not viable.

* For the main form, we need to fit the barcodes on to the existing pages -- this is a very limited amount of space.

 

The problem

* The main form is the problematic form - we have ~ 200 fields on the main form

* We are planning to fix the max length of each field - some based on existing systems & others not.

* Current total length count is ~ 3200 but we expect to strip this back to 2000-2500 chars, of which some will be all numeric or uppercase.

* We are currently assuming 3 barcodes for the main form but we may be able to get the max chars low enough to fit in 2 barcodes if they hold 1598 chars each.

* Based on our understanding the Adobe barcoding presentation ...

     * PDF-417 is restricted to a maximum of 34 columns (30 data) wide x 90 rows high

     * This gives a maximum of 928 code words in a bar code

     * Level 6 error correction redundancy uses 129 code words

     * This leaves 799 code words for data.

     * Each code word holds 1-2 data chars (2 if all numbers or all uppercase, 1 is worst case if swap from upper/lower/number/symbol for every char)

     * This theoretically gives 799 to 1598 screen chars per barcode.

     * Originally had intended to use XML data in the barcode, but now understand the cost and plan to use delimited data only (probably tab)

     * It is quite important to have a minimal (preferably zero) rate of barcode overflow as these forms may have to be manually re-typed.

     * Barcode compression is reported to give ~10-30% saving in space for typical data

     * With compression it may be hard to guarantee that there is no overrun unless the max field lengths are < the barcode stores uncompressed

     * Before commitments are made within our organisation, we need to be sure:

          - how many barcodes we need to store the max length of data

          - how much space does each barcode need on the page

          - whether we can fit the required number into the available space!

 

Specific Barcode Questions

1. How can we find out in livecycle designer (a) the number of rows/cols in a barcode, or (b) how many chars it can actually hold?

2. What is the max # of uppercase-only chars we can fit in one barcode?

3. What is the minimal space occupied by one barcode that is holding the max # of chars?

4. If we make a barcode smaller does this reduce the max # of rows/cols (and therefore chars) that it can store?

5. How do tab delimiters or commas count towards filling the barcode?

6. Can we stop the barcode from greying out when it overflows so we can capture the "first half" of the data?

7. What proportion of reduction do you typically get with the Livecycle compression?

8. If using compression to fit more data in, how do we avoid the problem with an unusual case having poor compression & overflowing the barcode?

9. We don't understand the limit of 928 code words given that 30 data cols x 90 rows would be 2700 code words?

10. We have found a couple of cases where barcodes are greyed out in LiveCycle Designer but the same form / same data has a good barcode when using Adobe 8 Standard - are there known differences / limitations between the products.

 

I have attached our test form below.

The barcode is 100mm x 45 mm but we can only get 868 uppercase chars to fit in it - it greys out in Livecycle designer with more.

Do we have to make it bigger to get more chars or have we done something wrong?

 

Any help or advice much appreciated.

I cannot find any reference instructions for adobe x livecycle to add barcodes for code 128 and code 39.  Found a lot of information for 2D, QR Code and DataMatrix barcodes.    I need to generate a barcode for user entered information from 4 fields on the form: invoice number (6 numbers), customer number (6 numbers), branch ID (3 numbers) and document date (mmddyyy).

 

I have tried many times without success.  There are great step-by-step instructions for 2D barcode but not code 39 or code 128a,b,c.

 

Can another please help me out.  Point me to a good example or walk me thru how to do this with code 128.

 

 

Thank you

How do i purchase access to LiveCycle Barcoded Forms?

I am currently creating a form in Adobe Livecycle ES2. I want to put a PDF417 2D barcode on the form containing the data of the fields in the form. The customer should be able to use Adobe reader to fill out the form and the barcode should update with the field information. However to do this i need to purchase a license for LiveCycle Barcoded Forms. In order to get this license it seems that I need to purchase Livecycle reader Extensions ES2. However the product is not available online and when contacting Adobe no one knows how I can purchase this product. I have been in contact with: Adobe customer service Denmark, Adobe support Denmark, Adobe sales Denmark, Adobe customer service Sweden, Adobe Support Sweden, Adobe Sales UK, Adobe support UK, Dustin Denmark (Adobe reseller).

 

Does anyone know how to purchase this product or how much it costs to purchase?

 

An additional question i have is if there is a product that works in a similar way for Adobe Acrobat X Pro? Or do i also need Livecycle reader Extensions ES2 to unlock user rights for barcoded forms made with Acrobat X Pro?

How to Define a Dynamic Barcode on a PDF Page?

$

I have a situation where we have a PDF form with multiple rows, (rows can be added as per the user's requirement), means user can click AddRow button and pdf will generate a new row to fill the data. There is no max limit of the rows, it vary and can be anywhere from row 1..10, 1..100, or 1..50 and so on.....

The first pice of the form is to create table/row with Add Row button has been completed. I have already added the AddRow button functionality into the form, but we also need to point the row's data to the barcode. Each data row should point to a single barcode 1 to 1 bases (One row one barcode). How to implement and design the barcode so that each row will be handled dynamically with one barcode? Or, if there is any better approach to handle this.

 

I would really appreciate if you could send any document, example or sample.

Thanks!

French accented characters in a barcode are being dropped when scanned by a handheld scanner

We have an issue when our pdf417 barcodes contain french accented characters é,à,è, etc and are scanned by a handheld scanner.  As a result Montréal is decoded as Montral (the é is dropped).  We are using the Datalogic PowerScan 7000 and a Motorola Symbol DS6608 handheld scanners.  We currently have a ticket open with Datalogic.

 

The problem does not exist when the barcode is decoded by LC Barocded Forms.Decode.

 

Talking to someone, they indicated that this is pretty common with handhelds.  However, I did find this old post from lee sutton  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/332743 where he uses a keyboard wedge?

 

Has anyone had to deal with a similar issue (non-english chars) via handheld?

Can anyone recommend a handheld that does read non-eng characters without the wedge?

Is there something in the encoding from Designer that i can do?

livecycle processing dead in the water

We have a system configured as a vertical cluster (2 jboss instances on a single server using gemfire).  In late December node 1 stopped processing files and seemed to interfere with node 2 processing: if node 2 was processing files and node 1 was started, the processing on node 2 would stop, and then when node 1 was stopped the processing on node 2 would resume.  No node 2 is dead as well.  Just emits messages in the log like:

 

2013-01-25 14:41:42,582 info  [com.adobe.idp.dsc.workmanager.workload.statistic.MemoryStatistic] Memory statistic is 73.0

 

No amount of restarting, clearing out the stage folders, clearing the LiveCycle temp area, redeploying jboss components seems to unjam the system.  Adobe support has been unhelpful to date.  Willing to entertain suggestions from the field.

"Your script uses objects from a non-existent collection"

I have a multiple page form with a barcode on each form.  I created a separate collection for each barcode.  The auto generated code looks fine and has the correct collection created, however I still get the error, Paper Forms Barcode error "Your script uses objects from a non-existent collection".

 

I'm not sure what is wrong and I don't know how to fix it.  Anyone else run into this?

2D decode vs. form data integration.export data performance

$

Hello

We have 2D forms that we accept in printed format or via electronic submission.  When they are printed we use the Decode to extract the data before processing.  When we get them back electronically, instead of using the Decode we use the formDataIntegration.Export data call.  We have mapped a xsd to the form to facilitate this.  An advantage of using the export data call is that we dont have to deal with print issues such as smudged barcodes, bleeding ink, thin paper, etc..

 

BUT im wondering performance wise is one better than the other?

A scanned form is 40kb while our electronic form is 400 kb (mainly because we only scan the barcoded page).

Is 1 more CPU intensive?  Does 1 require more RAM and other system resources than the other?

Are the both multithreaded or single threaded?

 

I ask because we currently have a 70/30 split of scans/electronic submissions but because we will be outsourcing this and our pilot is showing a 99/1 split (scans/electronic).

Sample barcoded form

1. I would appreciate if anyone could provide me with a sample barcoded form created using LiveCycle Designer ES.

 

2. Once the barcoded form is distributed, completed and returned to the author, how do I decode the barcode using a hand-held scanner to gather the data in the barcode into the Response file.

 

Thank you.
