Drag a rectangle to define the barcode area, and then double-click the barcode field to open the Properties dialog box.
5 In the Value tab, do one of the following:
• Select Encode Using, and then select a format (XML or Tab Delimited). Click the Pick button and select the fields
that you want to be encoded in the barcode field. If you don’t want to include the field names in the barcode data,
deselect Include Field Names.
• Select Custom Calculation Script, click Edit, and then enter your custom JavaScript code in the JavaScript Editor
dialog box.
6 In the Options tab, do all of the following:
• Select a Symbology option: PDF417, QR Code, or Data Matrix.
• Select Compress Data Before Encoding To Barcode if you want to apply this compression. Do not select this option
if a handheld scanner is used to capture data from returned forms.
• In Decode Condition, choose the type of hardware to process returned forms: Handheld Barcode Scanner, Fax
Server, Document Scanner, or Custom.
• If necessary, click Custom and enter values for X Dimension, Y/X Ratio, and Error Correction Level.
7 Make any other changes in the General and Actions tabs. Then close the Barcode Field Properties dialog box.
JavaScript code is generated automatically to encode the selected fields in the XML or Tab Delimited format. The
Barcode Field Properties dialog box closes, and the barcode for which you specified values appears on the form.
Note: If you add a new field to a form after you have created the barcode, it is not automatically included in the data for
existing barcodes. However, you can manually include additional data fields in the barcode.
Test a barcode field
1 Choose Forms >Tasks > Close Form Editing, or click the Preview button in the Forms toolbar.
2 Fill in the form. Use sample data that represents the maximum amount of information for each field or that you
expect users to enter.
3 If the barcode field is dimmed, follow either the procedure for resizing the barcode field or for adjusting the content
data. (See the following tasks.)
4 Make sure that the barcode field area is large enough to contain all of the incoming data. Choose Forms > Clear
Form to remove the sample data.
5 Select File > Save.
The barcode form field is now ready for distribution.
Include additional data fields in the barcode
1 If you are not in the edit mode, choose Tools > Forms > Edit.
2 Double-click the barcode field.
3 In the Value tab, do one of the following:
• If Encode Using is selected, click Pick, and select additional form fields to be encoded.
• If Custom Calculation Script is selected, click Edit, and write additional JavaScript to include the additional fields.
After including new data fields in the barcode, be sure that the barcode area is large enough by testing sample data. If the
barcode area is dimmed, adjust the barcode size or text field properties so that the data content fits into the barcode area.
