I am trying to add barcode 39 to my item number using Microsoft Report Builder. I am not sure about the code to get it work
Code 3 of 9 (or code 39) is not an interleaved barcode, so you can actually just download a font which displays data as barcode elements. This works because code 39 is made of individual elements.
The code is very dense, and generally is harder to print if the content is long, compared to typically code 128.
Depending on your needs and budget, you can also purchase a commercial barcode module, or use a free module like project zint. This will give you more options such as line shaving, but obviously need to be spoken to using an API. For easiest approach: use a font.
My question divided to three questions:
is OpenKm accept Bar Code ??
if yes how can enter a bar Code to OpenKm DMS ??
how find something using bar code in dms
You can find information about OpenKM barcode reader at https://www.openkm.com/en/barcode.html also I suggest take a look at this video what might ilustrate the idea behing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=TkYS33I88oU
By default OpenKM comes with a barcode engine, but might integrate commercial solution into.
You can use the search engine to find a document with some barcode, query can be done to content or metadata.
I'm developing a WP7 app that has a lot of math content, and I need to display expressions as images.
The data for these expressions is in the form of strings like this:
"d=\\sqrt{2} \\times a"
"A=a \\times \\frac{\\pi}{4}"
etc.
The goal is to take a string like this, run it through some parser of some sort that then outputs an image of the expression in LateX style.
Does anyone know of some magic code I can include / have a solution?
Much appreciated.
A possible solution without getting Tex to run on windows 7 phone, would be to use a web service.
You would post your equation string to a web service and it would reply with the image data or a url. Example
In the event that tex for windows 7 phone exists, that above mentioned page also links to a script called tex2im which shows how to create an image from tex code.
Does anyone knows about any editor allowing to visually design a form (by form I do not mean DFM or Delphi form, but a "paper form", like those pre-printed forms that you fill with some info) and that generates pascal commands to draw that form in a Printer (or Image) canvas?
What I want is an easy way to draw/design this form visually, composed just by lines and text, and a way to convert this to Pascal commands that when run, will draw that form in a Canvas (Image or Printer), respecting the original layout and scale, doesn't matter the Canvas DPI where it is being drawn.
Update: Maybe I wasn't clear enough about what I need and why I need it. I developed an Open Source component called TFreeBoleto (freeboleto.sf.net). It is used to generate and print bank billets (a common method for billing people in Brazil). Right now, the component uses a TBitmap image containing the "billet" mask, and TextOut methods for the dynamic areas (ie: billet number, customer name, etc). It is fine when looked in the screen, but some people complains that the quality of the printed image is not good. The component uses a BltTBitmapAsDib procedure to maximize the quality of printing, but some people still think it is not good enough. So, my idea was to avoid using a bitmap image as the form layout, and draw everything direct in the canvas (both form and printer). Check here for a sample of what a bank billet looks like.
Of course ReportBuilder and/or FastReport could solve the problem, but they are not free, so I cannot include it in the component. I need "native" solution that any standard Delphi install would be able to compile.
You might get what you want out of the Fast Reports Report Designer which is a commercial reporting system for Delphi. Remember that a report is just a page. That page can be shown on the screen or printed on the printer.
You also might find that something like TRichView helps you.
Whether using TRichView in particular or not, I would look into using HTML to do what you want. I would use HTML+CSS to do both a screen and printer layout, that can also be viewed on the web. For simple text layout plus text boxes I think even bare HTML and HTML tables might be sufficient. To visually design simple text pages, using a Delphi application, I would use TRichView.
In both cases, you would be creating documents, not code. To create code that creates a page, without using any document system, would be very difficult indeed, and I am not sure what you would really do with that code, since you would need a compiler or interpreter to convert that code into something that you could use. Please clarify what you mean by "creating code", and what syntax you would want that code to be using. If HTML is code in your definition of "code" then maybe HTML is the best kind of "code" for your problem.
I do my form-work with WPTools. It is also a commercial product. The core is a very good wordprocessor and form-designer. The engine can render text and forms to any canvas (screen, printer, also create pdf) and is highly flexible. Output is mainly rtf and html.
I also see no advantage in creating pascal code to redraw the form. What you need, i think, is a good WYSIWYG-editor which creates a document that fits your needs.
Check out ReportBuilder # http://www.digital-metaphors.com/
It is a commercial reporting tool for Delphi - around a long time, very high quality, with all native Delphi source code packaged with it. I am using it for an important commercial project right now and I recommend it highly (I'm not working for them.) I've used MANY Delphi reporting tools over the years and this one is the best IMO.
RBuilder also has extensive support for paper form emulation see:
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/products/report_design/form_emulation.html
I haven't worked with that feature, but you can download a full-featured demo and try it.
Yoy can use Adobe Acrobat (full version) to create forms.
Then you can use free Acrobat Reader to display and print forms or other COM object in your application.
I think it is best solution for you.
PS
All tools for reports that are included in Delphi are free for you to design form and are free to distribute if user only preview and print already designed reports.
The same is valid for Adobe Acrobat (you may distribute forms) but you have added that you need to print form and some text over form. Maybe it is easier if you use reports but it is possible to do the same using PDF.
Most report engines are not open source but are free to distribute. There is many components for creating PDF - paid (one time), free, as well as open source.
PPS
I have read your updete for second time. Since you are using TBitmap and you can to TextOut so: You can use TMetafile. There is many editors for metafiles and it is free to distribute metafiles.
Is there a way to create an editable PDF programmatically? By editable, I mean you can click in a text area and type in your name, that kind of thing.
I'm using Ruby and have found PrinceXML and Princely to be nice projects. I'm wondering if they could do that?
Prince doesn't mention forms in the documentation, and renders forms as static drawings, so I doubt it.
pdfTeX can do it with the hyperref package. Here's a tutorial.
Example:
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{Form}
\TextField[backgroundcolor={1 1 0},value=can do forms]{hyperref}
\end{Form}
It looks like this:

(Of course, then you're using TeX instead of whatever reports library you like. I'm sure there's an alternative.)
