Best Answer

The Native Crystal Reports Barcode Generator is Crystal Basic source code that may be easily inserted into a Crystal Report to create barcodes. After the code or barcode object is copied from the sample report to your own report, the barcode remains in the report even when distributed. No barcode fonts or other components are required.

NOTE: The demo version creates a barcode that cannot be modified. This is to protect the product source source code. If you need to test live data, contact us and we can generate a barcode for you.


If you are unfamiliar with the GS1-DataMatrix specification, review the resources:

Creating the FNC1 for GS1- Data Matrix in IDAutomation Data Matrix products:
The ~1 is used to encode the FNC1 before the Application Identifier. The example uses an entered data string
01345678901234515. The 01 in the data is the Application Identifier.
