Thanks Andy,

But you are too late,j/k :P  Somebody already suggested that.

And that is actually one of the first places I looked before posting to
CF-Talk.  Unfortunately, FusionZone is limited in the Barcoding Symbologies
that they encode.  I'm looking for an app that converts to the 2D
symbologies, mainly PDF417.  To my knowledge FusionZone doesn't support
that.

The ones that I have found which do support it, are so far 2: Morovia and
TEC-IT.  However those are mainly desktop apps written in VB.  One of them
has an ActiveX control, but they don't explain how to access it, and what
methods/variables etc, are available.  Even then, that's only half the
battle, the second part is how to programmatically embed the info I need
into a word doc.

These were the same kinds of problems that we faced as CF developers before
ActivePDF and MX7, when we tried to generate PDF's on the fly.  

I was looking for some Coldfusion-friendly apps, or a method by which I
could write an app myself in CF.

Thanks,
Ali

        Application   :     barcodeZONE
        Version       :     1.0
        Build Date    :     03/18/2004
        Developer     :     Kevin Maloy

John,

Yes, it is available in a font.  The font is called PDF417, I believe.  This
sounds like the direction I may want to go in.  Can you elaborate on how I
could do that?
