I have installed code128 font in C:/windows/fonts from this website and I have used java methods to generate string of barcode but when I put the result string in MS word I have this
where is the problem knowing that I have installed the font and use the code from the same website
I have converted c# code of this page to java and it works
here is the java code :
public class NewCoder128 {
public NewCoder128(){}
public String StringToBarcode(String value)
{
// Parameters : a string
// Return : a string which give the bar code when it is dispayed with CODE128.TTF font
// : an empty string if the supplied parameter is no good
int charPos, minCharPos;
int currentChar, checksum;
Boolean isTableB = true, isValid = true;
String returnValue = "";
if (value.length() > 0)
{
// Check for valid characters
for (int charCount = 0; charCount < value.length(); charCount++)
{
//currentChar = char.GetNumericValue(value, charPos);
// (int)char.Parse(value.Substring(charCount, 1));
System.out.println("count "+charCount);
currentChar = value.charAt(charCount);
if (!(currentChar >= 32 && currentChar <= 126))
{
isValid = false;
break;
}
}
// Barcode is full of ascii characters, we can now process it
if (isValid)
{
charPos = 0;
while (charPos < value.length())
{
if (isTableB)
{
// See if interesting to switch to table C
// yes for 4 digits at start or end, else if 6 digits
if (charPos == 0 || charPos + 4 == value.length())
minCharPos = 4;
else
minCharPos = 6;
BarcodeConverter128 brc128 = new BarcodeConverter128();
minCharPos = brc128.IsNumber(value, charPos, minCharPos);
if (minCharPos < 0)
{
// Choice table C
if (charPos == 0)
{
// Starting with table C
returnValue = String.valueOf((char) 205); // char.ConvertFromUtf32(205);
}
else
{
// Switch to table C
returnValue = returnValue + String.valueOf((char) 199);
}
isTableB = false;
}
else
{
if (charPos == 0)
{
// Starting with table B
returnValue = String.valueOf((char) 204); // char.ConvertFromUtf32(204);
}
}
}
if (!isTableB)
{
// We are on table C, try to process 2 digits
minCharPos = 2;
BarcodeConverter128 brcd = new BarcodeConverter128();
minCharPos = brcd.IsNumber(value, charPos, minCharPos);
if (minCharPos < 0) // OK for 2 digits, process it
{
currentChar = Integer.parseInt(value.substring(charPos, charPos+2));
currentChar = currentChar < 95 ? currentChar + 32 : currentChar + 100;
returnValue = returnValue + String.valueOf((char) currentChar);
charPos += 2;
}
else
{
// We haven't 2 digits, switch to table B
returnValue = returnValue + String.valueOf((char) 200);
isTableB = true;
}
}
if (isTableB)
{
// Process 1 digit with table B
returnValue = returnValue + value.substring(charPos, charPos+1);
charPos++;
}
}
// Calculation of the checksum
checksum = 0;
for (int loop = 0; loop < returnValue.length(); loop++)
{
currentChar = returnValue.charAt(loop);
currentChar = currentChar < 127 ? currentChar - 32 : currentChar - 100;
if (loop == 0)
checksum = currentChar;
else
checksum = (checksum + (loop * currentChar)) % 103;
}
// Calculation of the checksum ASCII code
checksum = checksum < 95 ? checksum + 32 : checksum + 100;
// Add the checksum and the STOP
returnValue = returnValue +
String.valueOf((char) checksum) +
String.valueOf((char) 206);
}
}
return returnValue;
}
}
class BarcodeConverter128
{
/// <summary>
/// Converts an input string to the equivilant string, that need to be produced using the 'Code 128' font.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="value">String to be encoded</param>
/// <returns>Encoded string start/stop and checksum characters included</returns>
public BarcodeConverter128(){}
public int IsNumber(String InputValue, int CharPos, int MinCharPos)
{
// if the MinCharPos characters from CharPos are numeric, then MinCharPos = -1
MinCharPos--;
if (CharPos + MinCharPos < InputValue.length())
{
while (MinCharPos >= 0)
{
if ((int)(InputValue.charAt(CharPos + MinCharPos)) < 48
||(int)(InputValue.charAt(CharPos + MinCharPos)) > 57)
{
break;
}
MinCharPos--;
}
}
return MinCharPos;
}
}
with this class you only need to download code128 font, install it on your system paste in windows/fonts and call this code as below and the generated barcode will be readable
NewCoder128 newCoder128 = new NewCoder128();
String encoded_string = newCoder128.StringToBarcode("123456789")
// encoded string is "Í,BXnÈ9oÎ"
