You would have to convert the array itself in LC to another format, then convert it back when you need it. The LC array is obviously proprietary. The structure of the encoded array is not something that can be externally interpreted. I know, I looked into it. Bob S > On May 20, 2019, at

Hello Jerry, Both the PDF widget and the Android Barcode widget are included in Business edition, but the release notes they are mentioned under the section "LiveCode Indy Extension Changes" too. This is because of a bug in our release notes builder. Sorry for the confusion. Regards, Panos --

It SHOULD be in INDY even though I am personally paying for the Business upgrade. LC should rethink this - there are fewer people on Business (educated guess) so you at least want a few more people on Indy. This might be what makes them upgrade - get them to Ben Nevis THEN they might climb

This goes to my point about why certain things you want to use are bundled into version you cannot afford. I would much rather subscribe to certain add-ons but we all decided on this awhay back when the licensing model was put forth, and also I can see that someone might only purchase an add-on
