Hello All,

Can some one help with this please? I have a PDF form which has a barcode field. when this form is opened with Acrobat PRO and Generate Barcode action fills the barcode field with the 2 D Barcode. But the same PDF form when opened with Adobe Reader DC does not generate the Barcode, the barcode field is greyed out.

Thanks,

You must enable this feature in the document. You must use a server product for this. The old name of this product was LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Use Adobe Acrobat, not Acrobat Reader.

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your reply. This form is for external customers who are going to use Adobe Reader to view and fill up the form. So I need to make this Work with Adobe Reader. Also with Adobe Reader , I am able to fill up the form , it is just the Barcode which is not showing in the Barcode area, It is grayed out.

Thanks.
