Using Two Dimensional (2D) Barcode Functions

You can use QR code or PDF417 2D barcode type to create barcodes in RTF templates. When you create an RTF template, use the qrcode or pdf417 functions to specify the barcode type. These functions do not require external fonts.

QR Code Syntax

In the template, include the following qrcode syntax:

<?qrcode: <DATA>; <SIZE>[; <CHARSET>]?>

where:

DATA: indicates the data to be encoded in the QR code format.

SIZE: indicates the QR code size dimension in points (pt).

CHARSET (Optional): indicates the character set for encoding the data. Default is UTF8.

pdf417 Syntax

In the template, include the following pdf417 syntax:

<?pdf417: <DATA>[; <XSCALE>[; <COLUMNS>[; <ROWS>[; <CHARSET>]]]]?>

where:

DATA: indicates the data to be encoded in the PDF417 format.

XSCALE: indicates the point (pt) per PDF417 module width. Default value is 1 (1pt per module).

COLUMNS: indicates the number of columns to be used in the generated PDF417 symbol. Default value is -1.

ROWS: indicates the number of rows to be used in the generated PDF417 symbol. Default value is -1.

CHARSET (Optional): indicates the character set to be used to encode data with the Byte compaction mode. Specify CHARSET only if the data contains non-Latin-1(ISO-8859-1) characters.
