I am trying to add Barcode in my crystal report.I need free service not paid.I have tried azalea bar code implementation.
I have added azalea code 129 function in formula field and create a new formula field with name code128 and i placed in my crystal report.i have also downloaded code128 Font from 3rd party site i set the font also, when i generate the report the barcode was not readable.
I am looking for a complete kit of barcode integration for crystal report for free or any other solution.
Requirement :
Need to generate Alphanumeric barcode in crystal report.
Thanks in advance. Need help........
Finally, i got barcode implementation # crystal report. http://www.idautomation.com/free-barcode-products/code39-font/#Bar_Code_Font
You can also use online barcode generator services. Create a hyperlink where the barcode alphanumeric is part of the URL to generate your barcode dynamically per barcode. This requires internet access. Code 3 of 9 is inefficient and takes a lot of space to generate a barcode. Code 128 is more compact and can generate alphanumeric easily.

Currently I managed to show inside Crystal report QR code using Google Charts and dynamically change path of picture but the generated QR code is wrong. I need to show URL with GET methode (3 params) and link is showing only 1st param.
test URL which needs to be opened via QR code (formula "link")
"http://test.com/getData?param1=aaa¶m2=bbb"
formula for QR code and dynamically changing picture (it's http because Crystal Reports doesn't support https)
"http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=" + {#link}
Those two combined form a string
http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=http://test.com/getData?param1=aaa¶m2=bbb
QR code - wrong one (missing param 2)
If I change my link to (url encoding & into %26)
http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&chl=http://test.com/getData?param1=aaa%26param2=bbb
then I get with browser good QR code but in Crystal reports still wrong one (missing param 2)
QR code - good in browser but not showing the same in Crystal
I suspect that something is wrong with URL encoding in Crystal or different than browser encoding. Any suggestions how to solve this?
If this is due to http limitation, you can generate the QR barcode image locally using a Crystal Reports UFL. You can create your own or at least one of the 3rd-party UFLs listed here provides such a function.
After lots of hours trying encoding/decoding data I accidently figure out that it wasn't problem in data or URL. Only thing I had to do is check "use original URL" in picture properties. After that generated QR code was good and problem solved. Hope it helps someone and saves lots of hours.
I have a report where I am using an on-demand sub-report. But my user is viewing this report from a java application. So whenever he run the report he will view this report in PDF.
Report format:
country name location sales
<on-demand subreport>
Now once he run the report he will get all the above fields data in PDF format.
So now if clicked on location field data in PDF will he get the sub-report's data.
PDF isn't intended to generate dynamic content. As such, you'll need to find an approach that will render the desire content in a static manner.
I would suggest that you parameterize your report to display one of these options:
main only
main + subreport
The PDF will either contain the main report's content or the main and subreport's content.
** edit **
If you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise (BOE), you could use the openDocument API to generate a new report instance or the most-recently-generated instance. I don't know if Crystal Reports Server supports this feature for certain.
If you are rendering reports in a Java application, then you will need to a way to intercept the hyperlinks--a server, most likely. By in large, you'd be reinventing Crystal Reports Server/BOE.
Basically I understand as you need two thing.
you need to generate a report and export/generate in pdf.
in you need to attach link or something like editable field pdf.
For First answer, you can easily hide/show of sub-report in crystal report side. but not after report generate in pdf.
So for second answer, you need to pdf professional or editable allow version. after you get that you simply use itextsharp.dll (to generate pdf from asp.net-see below link).
So finally I think, does not needed crystal report.

I would like to embed a QR Code on a stand-alone Crystal Report.
I'm planning to embed information from the report (like Name or Address) that will be stored in the QR that will be generated in the Crystal report.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or link to any resources explaining how to do this?
It's easiest to use an on-line service.
Insert a picture
Edit the conditional formula associated with the picture's Graphic Location property
Provide a link that will generate the QR code. For example: "http://www.esponce.com/api/v3/generate?content=" + {table.field} + "&format=png"
I have a Crystal Reports project that I am working on where I need to generate a label with UPC-A's. After doing a bit of research, I've found that Azalea Software offers a tool that is suppose to integrate barcode objects into your application.
I purchased the software from Azalea, followed all of their instructions and I can not get their software to work with my report. I don't want to speak ill of Azalea, because their support has been great, but is anyone aware of a legitimate alternative for UPC-A barcode creatioon from within Crystal Reports 2008?
I don't mind purchasing another 3rd party API, I just need to be able to generate dynamic UPC-A images from the UPC-A numbers that I need to encode stored within my database.
Further information-- this is a label document that is printed from a ClickOnce published application that uses the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 runtime, and the Crystal Reports Document Viewer control to view and print these labels.
We use IDAutomation for our barcoding. Very easy to use when installed, you use it like a font on calculated barcode fields. We use it mainly for Code-39 and Code-128 barcodes; though looking at the site it can make UPC/EAN codes too. It also has a selection of sizes for each barcode, alongside the normal font resizing.
On our version you have to install the fonts on every client computer running the report locally; but only once on telnet servers etc.
I want to create a crystal report that will match a pdf file. The info in the pdf file is a combination of form fields and instructions layed out in a table format. The crystal report should exactly match the pdf file because I will export the report to pdf later.
is there a smart way of quickly designing the rpt file? like converting the pdf file to an rpt file?
You're better off just building the rpt file from the ground up -- there are no utilities I'm aware of that can covert the PDF to a RPT file.
I agree with LittleBobbyTables in that I don't know of a pdf to Crystal Reports converter so you'll have to build the report on your own from scratch, but you may look into other options instead of Crystal Reports if possible.
Of course it's hard for me to give a good solution since I don't know the drivers behind the decision to use Crystal Reports, but if you are looking to display the data in a web page, Adobe has a pdf to HTML converter here that you may be able to start off with. You put the url to the pdf form and it converts it to HTML or Text. I tried it and thought it did work, it wasn't really close in the look and feel of the original pdf form so you can use it to get you part of the way and then you can wire up the data portion to display your data. Just throwing out another option instead of wedding yourself to Crystal Reports. Hope it helps.
