Hello to all,

thanks for your help. I tried now the testline from TFrost and under VB5 in the customer environment it also did not work.

BUT, as in most cases, the problem sits in front of the computer ;-)

Unfortunately we use for compatibility different versions of the library in the same EXE. In my test, i don't check the sourcecode which version is used, and as i find out now, I tried it in version 10!

Everything fine for now, the problem is fixed!

Best regards

In the Scripts tab, under 'Barcodes' there is a DM example, consisting of half-a-dozen lines of code, of which the important one (after I changed 1 to 3) reads:

QP.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(100, 100, 15, "Quick PDF Library Rocks", 3, 0, 0);

Press the Run button on the right, and the script runs and displays the symbol.

Hello TFrost,

first of all: thanks for your reply.

No, i didn't try the qpdf demo program (because for now, i don't know where i find it). My programming plattform is under windows, VB.NET and VB5 (for older programs), my tries are with VB5 (because of the customers environment).

Can you see in the demo which parameters are used for the DrawDataMatrixSymbol-command - or is it only an exe-file and you don't see the programming commands behind?

Best regards

Also it is not clear what programming language you are using, but I cannot think of one where including "U+00E8" inside a quoted string would cause a single unicode character to replace these six characters. So if you do need this prefix, you would need to place it specifically as the first character.  If all this works in the sample script, then it should be possible to translate into the language you are using. The script samples are usually helpful to check such issues.

Hello Ingo,

i worked with the pdf-library from version 09 up to 17 since many years. My only problem is the knowledgement about the parameters for a valid GS1-QR-Code. To use this QR-Code-family is a new request from one of our customers. We have to make a pdf with included batch-number as QR-Code based on GS1-spezifications (10).

If possible, could you please make a test with the encoding option 3 and send me your parameters for a valid drawdatamatixsymbol-command? No matter, what size or what content the code have, i only want to have one valid example to try by my own.... Thanks!

Best regards

Hello Ingo,

first of all: thanks for your help!

I read the documentation before i wrote the first request. Also, none of my testline are valid. I tried different ways, for example:

H = Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(4,14, 2, "U+00E8011234567890123", 3, 9, 0)

H = Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(4,14, 2, "U+00E8011234567890123", 3, 0, 0)

H = Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(4,14, 2, "101234567890", 3, 0, 0)

H = Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(4,14, 2, "(10)1234567890", 3, 0, 0)

H = Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(4,14, 2, "~101234567890", 3, 0, 0)

..

and many combinations more

Every line the same result h =0 and getlasterrror =0

Best regards

' Foxit Quick PDF Library
' DLL Edition
' Version 17.11

Can anybody give me a hint about the parameters to use for DrawDataMatrixSymbol in combination with GS1 (encoding=3)?

if i use

E=Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(x,y, 2,"101234567890", 3,0,0)

no qr-code will be printed and the returnresult E=0

if i use

E=Qp.DrawDataMatrixSymbol(x,y, 2,"101234567890", 1,0,0)

it will work, but with wrong codetyp (i think) and the first two characters (used for the specification GS1-standard "batch or lot number") are drawn in the code

Thank for your help!
