How to enable a forms made on Acrobat Pro DC generate dynamic bar-code on free acrobat reader.

I have use Acrobat Pro DC to input field and dynamic bar-code in a form. Its works well on pro DC even on others devices.

However this is not the case when open that form on free adobe reader. The dynamic bar-code does not capture data when someone fill the field.

I am looking for someone to help me solve this issue.

Is there any reader extension for Adobe pro DC (such as LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES for LiveCycle).

Not possible with Acrobat. You need that LiveCycle application to do it.

hi, thank you for your response. I have a constraint, LiveCycle licence is not applicable for my state.

I need your advice. Do you know any method of which, will able to capture data and generate the dynamic barcord on a free reader.

In brief, i have to sent forms to clients to fill in (on free reader) and sent me back, as such way that it is easy to capture their data and sort according to the forms categories.

I would appreciate to hear your guidance.

You can only do that with a 2D barcode, which can be represented using a text field that has a barcode font.

I would like to better understand your idea. Can you please make a short demo by illustrating them through screenshots. Thank you in advance as it will be of a great help.

Find a font that has the barcode methodology that you want to use (3of8, for example), install it on your computer, set it as the font of your text field, and then set the value of the field to the value of the barcode that you want to display. It's as simple as that.

[davidr92100037]

Therefore you mean that a bar-code is needed for each field?

[try67]

I don't understand what you mean... The field itself is the barcode.

By the way, what's the story with these images in your posts? Is it really necessary?
