Hi there,

Anyone tried printing barcode on RTC Report? Is there any trick? I tried the same way as Classic but did not work.

I tried the following but still can't get it to work.

    If code 3 of 9 is enough for you, you need just to set correct font and add '*' around the value...

    Hi,
    does anybody tried this yet?
    I'm trying now following that guide, but it just doesn't work on RTC.

    I installed the font, changed it on the report, but when i try to print it looks like normal Arial font. I'm using the same machine both to develop and as server, so the font is for sure installed in the server.

    Any advice?

    Thanks

    It works on RTC. Just make sure the FontFamily of the textbox for barcode is 'Free 3 of 9'.

    Regards

    Some fonts are not working if you are workng with different codepage than English. E.g. I needed to add mapping into the font for me to work correctly on CP1250. It depends on used font (sometime the creators are thinking that there is only English on the world... ;-)).

    I have seen this before, this is bug ín Report Viewer 2008. This is fixed in Report Viewer 2010, but we cannot upgrade to Report Viewer 2010 before NAV '7'.
    I have not managed to get a hotfix for Report Viewer 2008 yet. Sorry :cry:

    But you have other options:

    Option 1:
    Generate bitmap with barcodes see example here: http://mibuso.com/blogs/lyot/2010/07/12/ean-813-code-39128-barcode-creator/

    Option 2: (Please note this suggestion I'm suggesting as Claus Lundstrøm and not behalf of Microsoft)
    1. Download and install PDFCreator from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
    2. Configure PDFCreator according to your needs (e.g. in which folder to write the pdf files) 3. Run "Printer Selection" Form (Page in NAV 2009 R2) and set PDFCreator as the default printer for REP10075 3. In your CAL code replace SAVEASPDF with something like below:
    SalesHdr.SETRANGE("No.",'101005','101005');
    // 1st FALSE means "run the report without showing the request window"
    // 2nd FALSE means "use the printer defined through the Printer Selection table"
    REPORT.RUNMODAL(10075,FALSE,FALSE,SalesHdr);

    Regards,
    Claus

    I have the same problem...i would like to use a printer font, not true type through NAV 2009 RTC Reports, but it's impossible to select it from font selection. If I try to run the report, deleting the layout, and using the classic report it works.
    I read a lot of posts, and it seems that in reporting services it's impossibile to select customs font...does anybody knows if there is any news that can help me to solve this problem ?
