hello abbklaus,

i use your lib for printing barcode inside pdf documents.

and i encounter a problem :

in France, we use the AZERTY keyboard standard while your lib use the QWERTY keyboard.

As a consequence, when i use for example :

Code: Select all

pdf_Barcode_Code93(10, 70, "PAPER215", 14, 0.4445, #PDF_TEXT_BOTTOM, 0, 0.6)
... the printed text below the codebar is Ok because it shows 'PAPER215' but when it is scanned by the codebar reader i get 'PQPER215'.

Hi Flype,

the problem is your scanner not the lib.

I tested with a FireScan from Datalogic here and had the same results :

Keyboard Nationality French = PQPER"!%
Keyboard Nationality German = PAPER215
Keyboard Nationality USA = PAPER215

Regards Klaus

humm, ok i believe you.

so i don't see how to resolve my problem.

maybe by re-calibrating our usb-scanners... :idea: :?:

of course but i don´t know which type of scanner you have :?:
With datalogic it´s done by scanning some special barcodes, here a link to a quick reference for Firescan D131 : https://easeofaccess.scanning.datalogic ... =820001771

Hi Flype,

I think you are using a barcode-reader connected between the pc-keyboard and the computer. This kind of readers emulate the typing of a barcode. So, this is a keyboard-language specific thing.

Try to find a hint inside the reader documentation. Maybe you can select a language type or a keyboard layout in the preferences of the reader? Most of the handheld readers can get programmed or reconfigured using some special barcodes. Those barcodes are located most common at the end of the manual.

Maybe this helps...
