Barcode fonts for Aztec, Datamtrix, PDF417 and QR Code
2D Barcode Font Kits
Powerful barcode font kits for creating Aztec, DataMatrix, QR Code or PDF417 and MicroPDF barcodes from within programmable Windows applications.
Each kit includes TrueType, OpenType and PostScript fonts, and a DLL, an Active-X component, a fully-managed-code .NET component and a Java class which may be called to translate data into the text required to produce the barcode in the supplied font. The kits also contain a UFL (User Function Library) for use within Crystal Reports; each of these can generate barcodes up to the limit of formula strings.
The DLL and .NET components in each kit include functions to decode the text form of the barcode into the original data, allowing the barcode to be read by software.
Notes
Testware versions randomly scrambles characters, but otherwise provides a scannable barcode.
The fonts are not suitable for use without the appropriate DLL or Active-X component.
All developer font products include an embedding licence so that fonts may be embedded into Acrobat pdf pages (see sample pdf document) or font objects created for embedding barcodes into web pages (see demo page).

Aztec barcode font kit
The dLSoft Aztec font kit includes the fonts and a DLL, an Active-X component, a fully-managed-code .NET component and a Java class which may be called from most languages to convert a character string into an Aztec barcode, plus a UFL for use within Crystal Reports.
The DLL/OCX are suitable for calling from Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, Visual C++, Microsoft Office, Delphi, C++ Builder and many other development systems. The DLL/OCX provides control over the Security level (layers) and the encoding Mode (Normal, Compact and Full Range).
The OCX may be used through its properties, and the Caption property may be bound to a database field.

A typical VB call to the DLL to convert a text string is:
sz$ = Text1.Text
tt = Len(sz$)
Flags=0
Mode=0
Level=0
n = Bar2Dazf(ByVal sz$, tt, Flags, Level, Mode, ByVal so$)
Text2.Text = so$
The Aztec UFL for use within Crystal Reports can generate barcodes containing a maximum of 100 characters - the limitation arising from the maximum number of characters that can be returned from a Crystal Reports formula.
DataMatrix barcode font kit
The dLSoft DataMatrix font kit includes the fonts and a DLL, an Active-X component, a fully-managed-code .NET component and a Java class which may be called from most languages to convert a character string into a DataMatrix barcode, plus a UFL for use within Crystal Reports.
The DLL/OCX is suitable for calling from Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, Visual C++, Microsoft Office, Delphi, C++ Builder and many other development systems. The DLL/OCX also provides control the encoding Mode (Square or Rectangular).
The OCX may be used through its properties, and the Caption property may be bound to a database field.

n = Bar2Ddmf(ByVal sz$, tt, Mode, ByVal so$)
Text2.Text = so$
The DataMatrix UFL for use within Crystal Reports can generate barcodes containing a maximum of 100 characters - the limitation arising from the maximum number of characters that can be returned from a Crystal Reports formula.
PDF417 barcode font kit
The dLSoft PDF417 font kit includes the fonts and a DLL, an Active-X component, a fully-managed-code .NET component and a Java class which may be called from most languages to convert a character string into a PDF417 or MicroPDF barcode, plus a UFL for use within Crystal Reports.
Fonts are provided with height/width ratios of 2, 3, 4, and 5 to 1.
The DLL/OCX is suitable for calling from Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, Visual C++, Microsoft Office, Delphi, C++ Builder and many other development systems. The DLL/OCX provides control over the Aspect ratio of the barcode (Height/Width ratio), the Security level, and the encoding Start Mode.
The OCX may be used through its properties, and the Caption property may be bound to a database field.

A typical VB call to the DLL to convert a text string is:
sz$ = Text1.Text
tt = Len(sz$)
n = Bar2Dpdf(CodeType, ByVal sz$, tt, Aspect, Level, Start, ByVal so$)
Text2.Text = so$
The PDF417 Code UFL for use within Crystal Reports can generate barcodes containing a maximum of 70 characters - the limitation arising from the maximum number of characters that can be returned from a Crystal Reports formula.
QR Code font kit
The dLSoft QR Code font kit includes the fonts and a DLL, an Active-X component, a fully-managed-code .NET component and a Java class which may be called from most languages to convert a character string into a QR Code barcode, plus a UFL for use within Crystal Reports.
The kit supports Numeric, Alphanumeric and Byte mode, and security levels 0 - 3. It does NOT support Kanji mode
The DLL/OCX is suitable for calling from Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, Visual C++, Microsoft Office, Delphi, C++ Builder and many other development systems. The DLL/OCX provides control over the Aspect ratio of the barcode (Height/Width ratio), the Security level, and the encoding Start Mode.

The QR UFL for use within Crystal Reports can generate barcodes containing a maximum of 70 characters - the limitation arising from the maximum number of characters that can be returned from a Crystal Reports formula.
Licensing
Each kit may be licensed as a single computer product or as a developer version which permits Royalty-free of the components for up to 10,000 distributions.
System requirements
Requires Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. To obtain printed barcodes a Windows compatible graphics printer is required. One of the tools provided must be used for conversion of data into a barcode.
The .NET component is designed for use with Visual Studio.NET 2003/.NET
Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio 2005/.NET Framework 2.0. Supports x32, x64 and
