2d barcode to input data into form

[climberBrian]

I understand pdf's can dynamically generate barcodes (there's lot of info on that) - that is not what I want.

I'm wondering if a barcode scanner can be used to read a single 2d barcode and input data into multiple fields on a fillable pdf form and roughly how.

Preferably, a mobile device Reader App would access the camera on an iPad to then fill in the data fields.

Thank you in advance.

If you can somehow scan the barcode and place the data in the clipboard, it could then be pasted into a form field, and a custom validate script could be used to parse the data and place it in the corresponding fields of the form. Not all PDF viewers in the iPad would support this, but ones such as PDF Expert should.

That's a great start.  I could build that feature without too much trouble.

I stopped short of "correct answer" because I am still hoping for a one stop shop type solution.  A few of my users may not be able to reliably navigate multiple apps & cut and pasting across apps.

Thank you for your time.
