IDAutomation’s hosted barcode generator service dynamically creates high-quality GIF, JPEG, or 1-bit BMP images that are streamed directly to an application. The user manual employs the IDAutomation SaaS Barcode Generator in Salesforce Developer Edition to convert a field to a QR-Code image in a page layout.
