Hi Im using the Option DM_EXTENSION for GS1 (Code 128 based) 2D Datamatrix Barcodes. That works perfectly as long as I am only using not more then one GS1 element of variable length. Just placed the variable length element at the end of the 'text' and all is good. Im using: com.itextpdf.text.pdf.BarcodeDatamatrix.setOptions(int options) for setting the DM_EXTENSION and com.itextpdf.text.pdf.BarcodeDatamatrix.generate(String text) throws UnsupportedEncodingException for generating the code
Working sample: String text input data: f.010764016651024611150819100000001422 -> GTIN(01) = 07640166510246 ProdDate(11) = 150819 Charge(10) = 0000001422 Charge is of variable length. My question. How can I build a barcode with to variable length GS1 elements? There needs to be a Group Separator tag (according Standard it is FNC1 (ASCII 232)). How is this done? It seems all after the . is taken as code and any attempts of placing a group separator like <FNC1> or ASCII Code 232, etc fails. It is always interpreted as part of the previous element. Problem sample, Charge and Serialnumber (S/N) are of variable length: Input data f.010764016651024611150819100000001422210001782387 -> should be GTIN(01) = 07640166510246 ProdDate(11) = 150819 Charge(10) = 0000001422 S/N = 0001782387 but barcode reader shows GTIN(01) = 07640166510246 ProdDate(11) = 150819 Charge(10) = 0000001422210001782387 so S/N and code of it is part of Charge as mentioned above if I try to place a group separator e.g like this Input data f.010764016651024611150819100000001422<FNC1>210001782387 -> barcode reader shows GTIN(01) = 07640166510246 ProdDate(11) = 150819 Charge(10) = 0000001422<FNC1>210001782387 an notes that there is an error in the code Thanks for any suggestions how to tell the BarcodeDatamatrix.generate that there is a group separator and not only code (text) -- View this message in context: http://itext.2136553.n4.nabble.com/Datamatrix-DM-Extension-FNC1-variable-length-GS1-element-tp4661024.html Sent from the iText mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
