OpenOffice Hosted Barcode Generator Tutorial

Notice:

This tutorial uses the free version of the Dynamic Barcode Generator Service, which includes a watermark. After purchase or implementation of IDAutomation's other streaming barcode products, a unique web address will be available that excludes the watermark.

This tutorial describes how to use IDAutomation's Dynamic Barcode Generator Subscription Service in Apache OpenOffice. The IDAutomation Dynamic Barcode Generator Service will stream barcodes directly into the OpenOffice applications via a URL from IDAutomation's online barcode generation cloud service.

While IDAutomation hosts this service with their Dynamic Barcode Generator Subscription, companies can host the same service on their own server with the Streaming Barcode Server for IIS.

Stream Barcodes in OpenOffice

1. Open a new document and select to insert Picture - File.
2. Enter one of the Free Streaming URL's, to use for testing purposes, into the File Name field.
   
3. Enter the URL "https://www.bcgen.com/demo/linear-dbgs.aspx?D=" and the data that needs to be barcoded, as in the case above "IDAutomationBarcode". This allows to the user to create independent barcodes as needed.
   

Multiple barcodes can be added to reports in this manner, with many different symbologies to choose from, such as GS1 Databar, QR-Code, PDF417 and DataMatrix.
