Need help with figuring out what type of license is needed for barcodes

Dear All,

Could you please help me to identify what kind of license do I have to buy to solve my problem.

I am developing a feature which does the following.

1) There is an HTML form with some fields.

2) This HTML form has PDF template bound to the form. It means that PDF document with PDF form was created in Adobe Acrobat Pro and the fields in PDF form corresponds to the fields in HTML form.

3) User fills in HTML form and click "submit" button.

4) During HTML form submit, PDF form is filled in with the values from HTML form.

Everything works fine except of barcode field. Barcode field is displayed correctly only before entering any data to the PDF forms. After entering the value to any field which is related to barcode - barcode is being replaced with grey rectangle.

I have researched Adobe forum and understand that some kind of license is needed.

Could you please help with identifying what exactly do I need to buy?

I was using Adobe Acrobat Pro (I do not need LiveCycle at this moment) for creating one PDF document with PDF form for testing purposes.

I do not plan to create PDF documents with PDF forms (our customers do this), but I need 1-2 forms for testing with working barcodes.

What license do I need for these several PDF forms with barcodes?

Thanks in advance,

Denys

You need to be very clear about what the name of software is. I believe you are referring to LiveCycle Designer, which makes a different kind of form. You don't want or need to use this. The LiveCycle server products do all sorts of things, for example LiveCycle PDF Generator doesn't work with forms at all. Some of them apply to Acroforms. LiveCycle Reader Extensions is what you need. Adobe change product names regularly, to keep us all on our toes, and may have changed this one.

I am sorry if I was unclear.

The software that I am using now is Adobe Acrobat DC (17.012.20098).

During creating a form I am adding two text fields and one barcode field. But when I add it to my form I get a message:

Then, when entering some values into one of the text fields, the barcode becomes gray.

I would like to know what is the name of the license that I need and whom do I have to contact for licensing questions?

Thanks in advance

LiveCycle is a suite of products, designed for enterprise use and (except for LiveCycle Designer) intended for server use rather than end user use. The product you need is LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Licensing is complex and on a case by case basis, by negotiation.

Will I be able to use "LiveCycle Reader Extensions" with Adobe Acrobat Pro?

As I have mentioned in my original post we prefer Acrobar Pro over LiveCycle.

Thanks,

Denys

Acrobat tells mw that I need "Adobe's Barcoded Paper Forms Solution".

Is it the name of the license that I need additionally to Acrobat Pro?
