Aztec is a high-capacity 2D matrix barcode symbology that is able to encode more than 1000 ASCII and Extended ASCII characters.
1. Open DOS prompt. Go to the following folder
CD C:\Program Files\Common Files\Barcodesoft\FontUtil
Type in the following DOS command to register crUFLbcs.dll
regsvr32 crUFLbcs.dll
If registration fails, please use the following DOS command to register it.
Regtlibv12 is a utility of Windows .NET Framework 2.0.
Regtlibv12 _cruflbcs.tlb
2. If you are using Crystal Reports 9 or above, please open BcsAztec.rpt from
C:\Program Files\Barcodesoft\AztecFont folder.
After Aztec encoding process, even a short string might return much more codewords than you expect.
While Crystal Reports allows no more than 255 characters in a formula field.
Therefore we have to split Aztec codewords into seperate parts, and concatenate them in a Text Object before apply font BcsAztec to the Text Object.
Right click Formula Fields from Field Explorer View, choose "New..." from the context menu as shown below
3. Create more formula fields as listed below if returned codewords are more than 255. Then put them all in sequence within the same Text Object.
BcsAztecEncodeCR({Test.Data}, 1, 0, 23)
BcsAztecEncodeCR({Test.Data}, 2, 0, 23)
BcsAztecEncodeCR({Test.Data}, 3, 0, 23)
The first parameter in the formula field is string to encode.
The second parameter in the formula field is index.
The third parameter in the formula field is format option. Set it to default value 0 for auto-selection.
The fourth parameter in the formula field is error correction level. Set it to default value 23.
For detailed explanations of all parameters, please refer to readme file.
4. Right click Text Object and choose Format Object" from context menu. Then choose "BcsAztec" as font typeface for the Text Object.
