The barcode makers that can take these plug-in are FileMaker and FileMaker Pro Advanced versions 4 and higher. These barcode makers are available for Windows and Mac environments. Templates that can scale for large or small databases are available. Encode functions are included that accommodate a wide variety of needs. To make integration simple, the code package includes a database example with a barcoded form and report. This can be easily modified to support barcode types by changing the calculated field.
This FileMaker Barcode Font Plug-In is easy to integrate. FileMaker databases, reports and forms are accommodated as a dynamic calculated field. No special scripts are needed when used with purchased or the evaluation version of IDAutomation barcode fonts. The latest version includes GS1 Databar, Data Matrix, PDF417 and QR Code fonts. Barcode fonts, plug-ins and extensions for FileMaker versions 7 and higher on Windows and Mac platforms are covered in an included tutorial. The fonts are self-checking, high density and universal barcode. The interface generated by the plug-ins is simple and easy to use. This is a very good product. If you already use the base barcode software and want to enhance the functionality, this is candidate for your trials.
