We are moving some project sites to Lucee on Windows/IIS server.
So far so good as far as overall. One area with issues is getting barcodes
onto our cfdocument/PDFs. We were using Barbeque CF/COM for this, but that
no longer is working so looking for options.
Thinking that installing a suitable barcode font, and calling that will
likely do the trick -
So how do I install a font in Lucee (on windows) and call that in
cfdocument?
Any help would be most appreciated!
Also - any other ideas on how to handle this let me know - this is one area
that was working great in railo and no longer works now.
We have a barcode application (in Adobe CF, not yet in Lucee) that has to
produce several hundred thousand barcodes and then merge them into PDFs. We
use cfdocument for the merge portion but not the actual generation. We
looked into the custom font approach but it seemed clunky.
Instead, we use barcode4j - http://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/ - a simple
Java app that you can drop into tomcat and run as a service. I can’t
recommend it enough and the developer was helpful on a couple issues (at
least, four years ago, when we did it).
I don’t anticipate any changes in how it would work under Lucee since all
CF has to do is make the web request to the service.
