Change PDF417 Security Level in Crystal

[jbonds(Legacy member)]

How can I use the MoroviaPDF417Encode function in Crystal to adjust the security level in the barcodes it prints? I don't see a parameter where I can input the security level. I have Fontware V3.0. Is there an update??

Thanks

Currently the function does not support additional parameters. We can provide you a custom version. Write to support@morovia.com with your order number.

I just checked the support mail box and could not locate your email. Can you send to support@morovia.com again? Thanks

We have created a custom DLL to address this issue. To obtain the fix, download Support Tools for Morovia 2D Barcode Fonts by following this link:

http://www.morovia.com/Products/downloa ... .0.5.3.exe

or

http://go.morovia.com/?name=support_tool_2d

Click Run to install the package. The setup replaces the cruflMrv2DSurrogate.dll, located under [WINDIR]\system32. You need to close the Crystal Reports before the installation.

After setup completes, re-start Crystal Reports and replace all the occurances of MoroviaPDF417Encode with MoroviaPDF417Encode2 function. The latter function has a prototype -

MoroviaPDF417Encode2 ( data, security_level, maxRows, maxCols, truncated_symbol, trunk_no)

You can just pass 0 to maxRows and maxCols. Pass 0-9 to the security_level parameter.

When you increase security_level, the length of resulted barcode string also increase. Make sure that you have enough number of trunk fields to hold the whole result.
