Bryan, Yep, I am still trying to get my hands around the various Adobe products and their flavors, but I think this is what you want: http://www.adobe.com/products/server/barcodedpaperforms/indepth.html
You can create a 2d barcode that contains the XML associated with the data in a form. As a user moves from field to field in a form making changes, you'll see the barcode change. And when done you can scan the barcode to extract the data. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 5:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: PDF forms and barcodes Hey All, I've been looking at Adobe Acrobat Pro to use in the creation of PDF forms (didgital forms which allow user input...not paper forms to be printed). The piece of functionality I can't see in the docs is the ability to add a unique number or barcode to the page based on the user's entries in the form fields. THE FLOW I IMAGINE: 1) user fills in form 2) user hits a button to genetrate a file number or barcode 3) that file number or barcode is added to the page (and stays there until the user hits the buttton again...even between saves) I'm sure this is possible, but not sure if the Adobe tools allow for this....or if I need to bark up another tree?
