hi all,
I've created 1 report to show barcode in invoice
in development server is correct
what I've done is just install barcode font in development server (nav and db server in the same server)
I save my invoice as pdf
********************************
CLEAR(SalesInvoiceSecDepReport);
SalesInvoiceSecDepReport.SETTABLEVIEW(SIH);
ReturnValue := SalesInvoiceSecDepReport.SAVEASPDF(FileFolder+FileName);
********************************
this one is successful

but even using the same object in production server, install barcode font
if I do the same steps... it will not produce pdf file with barcode font
notes : if i preview from the server, it will show with barcode

did i miss something?

    Hello,

    You need to embed the barcode font in your PDF. If you don't, the PDF will not display the barcode on a machine without the font. See this for yourself: Save a PDF with barcode on your development machine. Email this PDF to someone without this font and open the PDF. You will not see the barcode. So even if you install the font on the production server, the PDF is not ready to be sent to someone else. Therefore, you need te embed the font somehow. I have not done this before in NAV, so I can't tell you how.
