Create Linear, PDF417 or Data Matrix Barcodes in XML Publisher with Java class files. Prices from $1190*	The 2D implementation uses either the PDF417 Font and Encoder or the Data Matrix Font and Encoder, which may be used for many other purposes.
Use IDAutomation's Code 3 of 9 barcode font in Oracle Reports to encode numbers and uppercase letters. Prices from $590* (a free license is also available for qualifying organizations or when used with IDAutomation's barcode scanner or wireless model.)	Easy to implement on Windows systems. However, it is very difficult to implement fonts in Unix and Linux environments. Implementation with this method involves only two steps; (1) place parentheses before and after the data being encoded in the text field of the report and (2) apply the barcode font to the field. The resulting field should be surrounded by (parentheses) before the font is applied.

* Prices quoted are for the Developer License, which is required when used in connection with a high speed printer that prints over 55 pages per minute or a system (including all hardware, printers and software) having a cost totaling over $50,000 USD or equivalent in a foreign currency. Small companies with gross annual revenue or funding of less than $2 million U.S. Dollars, may purchase the Small Company Developer License, which is 50% less than the price of the Developer License.
